How to Use This Greenwood, California Map

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

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 Greenwood, California

Greenwood is a locality in Glenn County, California, United States. Greenwood is located at 39.6960°N, 122.1944°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP codes: 95963, 95635.

Greenwood asserts itself as a quiet intersection of earth and engineering, defined by the deliberate, concrete arc of the Tehama Colusa Canal that slices through the landscape like a vein of silver. It lies 19.1 miles west of Chico, CA (from Chico, CA: bearing 263°T), and is situated 3.6 miles south of Orland. This inland expanse is characterized by vast, sun-drenched plains that stretch toward a horizon where the distant Cascade Range creates a jagged, hazy silhouette against the sky. The dry, golden grasses of the surrounding fields absorb the heat of the afternoon, while the occasional oak savanna provides a scattered, dappled shade that shifts with the slow rotation of the sun. Ten miles to the west, the waters of Black Butte Lake offer a cool, reflective contrast to the parched, terrestrial rhythm of the valley floor, while the proximity of Lely Park serves as a modest sanctuary for the regional flora.

Greenwood bears the weight of a history rooted in the hard-won labor of agricultural development, a legacy that remains visible in the irrigation patterns and the steady, industrious pace of those who work the soil. The economy here is tethered to the land, moving in tandem with the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest that define the character of the nearby Stone Valley. Life in Greenwood is marked by a certain sparse clarity, where the absence of dense development allows the wind to carry the scent of dry earth and ripening crops across the miles. Even in the quietest hours, the presence of the canal reminds the traveler of the enduring effort to channel water across these plains, a constant, silent testament to the human determination to thrive in this arid, expansive terrain.
