How to Use This Old Station, California Map

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

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.

Old Station occupies a rugged expanse of high-altitude terrain where the cold, clear pulse of Hat Creek carves a path through volcanic earth. It lies 44.6 miles west-northwest of Susanville, CA (from Susanville, CA: bearing 294°T), and is situated 18.7 miles southeast of Burney. The landscape surrounding Old Station is dominated by the vast, protected reaches of Lassen National Forest, which blankets the horizon in deep, resinous shadows and pine-scented air. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Cascade Range rise in jagged, serrated relief, while the nearby expanse of Plum Valley offers a rare, quiet respite of open ground amidst the denser timber. Sunlight here possesses a sharp, crystalline clarity, illuminating the volcanic basalt that lies scattered across the ground like the remnants of an ancient, cooling forge.

History in Old Station remains tethered to the slow, steady rhythms of the inland frontier, once serving as a vital stop for travelers navigating the unforgiving terrain of the interior. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, drawing sustenance from the timber resources of the region and the enduring allure of the wilderness for those who seek the isolation found near the Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest. Beyond the immediate canopy, the terrain invites exploration along the Wilcox Trail, a path that winds through the brush toward the higher elevations. While Emigrant Lake sits a few miles removed, the true character of Old Station is defined by the constant, rhythmic flow of Hat Creek, a waterway that serves as the heartbeat of this high-country landscape.
