Explore Redding, 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 Redding, 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 Redding.
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.

Redding serves as a robust anchor within the northern expanse of the great interior valley, where the earth rises in golden, grass-covered slopes toward the distant, jagged silhouettes of the Cascade Range. It lies 6.6 miles south of Shasta Lake, CA (from Shasta Lake, CA: bearing 190°T), and is situated 3.0 miles west-northwest of Enterprise. The Anderson Cottonwood Canal cuts a deliberate, purposeful line through the local landscape, providing a vital artery of movement that defines the way water is managed across these arid plains. To the west, the descent into Canyon Hollow creates a sudden, dramatic shift in topography, offering a sheltered contrast to the wide, sun-drenched flats that characterize the broader region. During the height of the summer, the air takes on a dry, shimmering quality, and the light at dusk turns the dusty hills into shades of bronze and burnt sienna, creating a quiet, expansive beauty that defines the mood of Redding.
Founders of Redding recognized the strategic value of the terrain, establishing a settlement that grew alongside the early expansion of rail lines and the constant demand for access to the northern interior. This history is marked by the steady, pragmatic labor of those who arrived to carve a livelihood from the soil and the surrounding timberlands. Over the decades, the presence of Library Park has remained a constant, providing a small, green center where the weight of time is felt in the shade of established trees and the slow movement of people passing through. The growth of Redding reflects a persistent, industrious spirit, rooted in the necessity of building a sturdy life in a landscape that requires both resilience and foresight to thrive.
Economic life in Redding is sustained by a diverse array of industries that capitalize on its role as a regional hub for commerce, healthcare, and logistics. The infrastructure is designed to facilitate the flow of goods and services across the valley, supported by a network of roads that connect the local workforce to various employment centers and educational institutions. Students often pursue vocational and academic goals at local campuses, which provide the essential training required for the regional medical and technical sectors. While the pace of trade is dictated by the requirements of a growing population, the daily operation of Redding depends on this reliable foundation of infrastructure, ensuring that the necessary services remain available to all who reside in the vicinity.
Cultural life in Redding finds its expression in the high school and amateur athletics that draw the community together on temperate evenings, as well as in the various seasonal festivals that celebrate the harvest and the changing character of the regional climate. Residents often gather at landmarks that hold local significance, finding recreation in the vicinity of Spring Creek Reservoir or spending time in the quiet, open spaces that define the outskirts of the grid. While global fame is an elusive measure, the identity of Redding is forged by the character of its citizens and their commitment to maintaining a life that is both grounded and distinct. The rhythm of the days here is dictated by the heat of the sun and the long, clear stretches of the horizon, fostering a culture that values the tangible realities of the land and the steady, unhurried progression of the seasons.

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.
