How to Use This Ravendale, California Map

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

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.

Ravendale occupies a stark, high-altitude expanse where the horizon stretches toward the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Cascade Range. It lies 30.4 miles north-northeast of Susanville, CA (from Susanville, CA: bearing 30°T), and is situated 48.5 miles south of Alturas. The landscape is defined by an austere, arid grace, where the light at dusk bleaches the sagebrush and turns the earth into a vast, muted canvas of ochre and gray. Five miles away, the deep, shadowed creases of Schott Canyon carve into the plateau, while the quiet flow of Cold Spring Creek moves through the lowlands six miles to the east. Seven miles out, the surface of Ducasse Reservoir mirrors the wide, cloud-swept sky, providing a rare gathering point for the arid winds that sweep across the open plains. Beyond these features, the Pine Dunes Area of Critical Environmental Concern preserves the fragile, sandy ecology of the region, ensuring that the wild, untethered spirit of the high desert remains undisturbed by the slow sprawl of the modern world.

Ravendale maintains a rhythm dictated by the demands of a sparse, resilient economy, grounded in the seasonal cycles of the land and the quiet endurance of its inhabitants. History here is written in the rusted iron of old rail lines and the weathered timber of structures that have stood against the biting winter cold and the relentless summer heat. Life in Ravendale persists without pretense, characterized by a profound, solitary independence that favors the quiet labor of the rancher and the steady persistence of the local tradesman. The air carries a thin, crisp clarity, sharpening the senses and reminding anyone present that this is a place of profound solitude, far removed from the humid congestion of the distant coast. Residents move through their days with a deliberate, measured pace, finding a particular, sober satisfaction in the stillness of the high desert and the unchanging character of the horizon.
