How to Use This Fort Dick, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Fort Dick, California. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of California or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Fort Dick.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Fort Dick, California

Fort Dick is a locality in Del Norte County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 912. The population density is 109.5 people per km². Fort Dick is located at 41.8695°N, 124.1672°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95538.

Fort Dick occupies a quiet expanse of land where the moisture of the Pacific Ocean clings to the air, settling in heavy, salt-flecked drifts that soften the edges of the horizon. It lies 63.7 miles north of McKinleyville, CA (from McKinleyville, CA: bearing 358°T), and is situated 8.2 miles north-northeast of Crescent City. Tryon Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the landscape, its banks lined with dense vegetation that thrives in the persistent, cooling dampness of the northern coast. To the east, the distant silhouettes of the Klamath Mountains rise as a jagged, indigo promise against the sky, while the local terrain remains defined by its proximity to the water, lying only a few miles from the shifting tides. The light here carries a silver quality, thinning out the shadows until the trees and fields seem to exhale a quiet, rhythmic gray that defines the character of the day.

Fort Dick maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored by a history of resource reliance and the slow turning of the seasons. Agriculture and the proximity to the timber industry—supported by the vast reaches of Six Rivers National Forest—have long shaped the ways in which people labor upon this earth. Residents often look toward the Smith River Fishing Access for a connection to the water, or find tranquility near the still, dark surface of Lake Talawa, where the silence is broken only by the call of migratory birds. The area remains distinct for its rugged, unadorned resilience, a place where life is measured not by the velocity of the modern world, but by the steady, persistent growth of the woods and the unchanging pulse of the nearby coast.

About This Fort Dick Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fort Dick, California. Coordinates: 41.869526, -124.167206. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Fort Dick includes the ZIP code (95538), telephone area code (530), county seat of Del Norte County (Crescent City), and school district assignment (Del Norte County Unified School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
