Explore Igo, California, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Igo, 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 Igo.
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.

Igo emerges from the dry, tawny expanse of the foothills where the earth turns to a persistent, iron-rich red. It lies 9.7 miles southwest of Redding, CA (from Redding, CA: bearing 235°T), and is situated 8.2 miles west-northwest of Olinda. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar weight, pressing down on the oak savanna and turning the grass to brittle gold long before the heat of mid-summer fully takes hold. To the west, the jagged, distant silhouettes of the Cascade Range anchor the horizon, while the terrain closer at hand is broken by the deep, narrow shadow of Bogus Gulch. A mile away, the cool, persistent presence of South Fork Clear Creek carves a path through the landscape, offering a riparian sanctuary that stands in stark contrast to the parched slopes surrounding it.
Gold seekers once scoured these rocky ravines, and the remnants of that restless era linger in the weathered stone foundations and the quiet, deliberate pace of life that defines Igo today. The local economy has long since shifted away from the frantic extraction of ore, favoring instead a quiet autonomy that respects the scarcity of water and the rugged demands of the soil. Residents often look toward the managed lands of Clear Creek for recreation, finding a sense of scale in the way the water moves over the riverbed. While the more verdant expanse of Ellen Pickett State Forest remains a distant destination for those seeking deeper shade, the daily rhythm of Igo is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the simple, enduring necessity of the land itself.

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.
