How to Use This Gasquet, California Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gasquet, 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 Gasquet.

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 Gasquet, California

Gasquet emerges from the dense, emerald embrace of Six Rivers National Forest, where the crystalline flow of the Smith River carves a deliberate path through the rugged terrain. It lies 62.5 miles north of McKinleyville, CA (from McKinleyville, CA: bearing 6°T), and is situated 13.5 miles east-northeast of Crescent City. Sunlight filters through the canopy to illuminate the damp, moss-covered stones along the riverbank, casting long, shifting shadows that stretch toward the nearby elevation of Pappas Flat. The air here remains heavy with the scent of pine needles and damp earth, a cool, constant presence that lingers even as the afternoon heat intensifies. Travelers seeking the solitude of the wilderness often find themselves drawn to the French Hill Trail, which offers a quiet, upward passage into the deeper woodlands that define the physical character of Gasquet.

History lingers in the quietude of these woods, echoing the legacy of early settlers who recognized the potential of the timber and the endurance required to inhabit such a wild, inland expanse. Today, the economy of Gasquet remains tethered to the rhythms of the forest, with a pace of life dictated more by the turning of the seasons than the frantic urgency of distant urban centers. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate pulse, far removed from the bustle of the world, while the proximity to the pristine waters of the Smith River serves as a reminder of the natural wealth that sustains the region. For those who venture further into the landscape, the distant, shimmering surface of Bummer Lake provides a destination for quiet reflection, away from the occasional hum of vehicles passing through the valley.

About This Gasquet Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gasquet, California. Coordinates: 41.836075, -123.976031. 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 Gasquet includes the ZIP code (95543), 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.
