How to Use This Goodyears Bar, California Map

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

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 Goodyears Bar, California

Goodyears Bar persists as a quiet gathering of structures along the North Yuba River, where the water carves a restless path through the rugged terrain. It lies 24.1 miles north-northeast of Grass Valley, CA (from Grass Valley, CA: bearing 23°T), and is situated 31.2 miles east of Oroville East. This landscape is defined by the dense, towering canopy of the Tahoe National Forest, which presses close against the settlement as if to reclaim the cleared earth. The air here holds a crisp, high-altitude stillness, and the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples against the steep walls of the nearby Devils Canyon. Beyond the immediate reach of the timber, the distant Sierra Nevada looms in the pale, hazy horizon, providing a silent, jagged backdrop to the slow motion of the riverbed below.

Goodyears Bar emerged from the frenetic energy of gold-seeking pioneers, yet today the frantic pace of the nineteenth century has been replaced by the steady, quiet endurance of the mountain woods. While the local economy no longer relies on the heavy machinery of hydraulic mining, the remnants of that industry remain etched into the geography, a stark reminder of the labor that once defined the valley. Those who pass through often seek the solitude of the Ramshorn Trail, which winds away from the river into the deeper, shadowed folds of the wilderness. Life in Goodyears Bar moves with the seasons, from the heavy silence of winter snows to the dry, pine-scented warmth of summer, far removed from the pressures of the lower plains.

About This Goodyears Bar Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Goodyears Bar, California. Coordinates: 39.552354, -120.893102. 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 Goodyears Bar includes the ZIP code (95944), telephone area code (530), county seat of Sierra County (Downieville), and school district assignment (Sierra-Plumas Joint 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.
