How to Use This Manton, California Map

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

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 Manton, California

Manton is a locality in Tehama County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 310. The population density is 6.8 people per km². Manton is located at 40.4267°N, 121.8504°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 96059.

Manton occupies a quiet expanse of volcanic soil and ancient basalt flows, defined by the persistent, cold-water current of Digger Creek as it carves through the rugged terrain. It lies 22.5 miles east of Anderson, CA (from Anderson, CA: bearing 92°T), and is situated 4.1 miles south-southeast of Shingletown. The landscape here is characterized by the transition from open oak woodlands to the dense, dark timber stands that mark the approach toward the Latour Demonstration State Forest. To the east, the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range looms against the sky, grounding the horizon in a permanent, heavy stillness. The light in Manton at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, turning the dry grasses to the color of tarnished copper as the temperature drops sharply beneath the cooling influence of the higher elevations.

Manton maintains a rhythm dictated by the seasons of its orchards and the quiet industry of its local groves, where the volcanic earth has long provided a fertile foundation for agriculture. The influence of the nearby South Fork Battle Creek serves as a vital artery for the local ecosystem, preserving a wilder character that contrasts with the domestic order of the surrounding fields. Residents operate in a landscape shaped by the proximity of Eagle Canyon, where the steep, rocky walls contain the echoes of a history rooted in resource extraction and land cultivation. While Soda Lake remains a distant point on the regional map, the life of Manton remains tethered to the immediate, tactile presence of its own creeks and the slow, deliberate turn of rural labor.
