How to Use This Pumpkin Center, California Map

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

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.

Pumpkin Center persists as a quiet intersection of dust and light, where the flat, sun-bleached plains stretch toward the horizon with a patient, unyielding stillness. It lies 53.5 miles north-northwest of Susanville, CA (from Susanville, CA: bearing 334°T), and is situated 32.9 miles east-northeast of Burney. The air here holds the dry heat of the interior, carrying the faint, earthy scent of turned soil and distant grasses that shiver under the midday sun. Only a mile away, the Pit River cuts a slow, deliberate path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the pale intensity of the sky. To the west, the jagged, hazy silhouette of the Cascade Range anchors the distance, serving as a constant, cool reminder of the elevation rising beyond the reach of these low-lying fields.

History in Pumpkin Center clings to the resilience of the local harvest, as the economy remains tied to the cycles of the earth and the steady labor of the surrounding agricultural expanse. Residents often find a moment of respite at Clara Beiber Memorial Park, a small patch of green that offers a modest reprieve from the open expanse of the basin. Further out, the Nine Springs Reservoir waits in the stillness of Hog Valley, holding its water against the heat of the summer months. Life in Pumpkin Center moves with the slow, rhythmic pace of the seasons, defined by the long shadows cast at dusk and the quiet endurance of a place that remains firmly rooted in the interior geography of the land.

About This Pumpkin Center Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pumpkin Center, California. Coordinates: 35.265301, -119.03241. 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 Pumpkin Center includes the ZIP code (96009, 93313), telephone area code (530, 661), county seat of Lassen County (Susanville), and school district assignment (Panama-Buena Vista 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.
