How to Use This Redway, California Map

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

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.

Redway anchors itself firmly upon the rugged, timbered slopes that rise above the South Fork Eel River, where the earth holds a quiet, heavy gravity. It lies 37.4 miles south-southeast of Fortuna, CA (from Fortuna, CA: bearing 152°T), and is situated 30.1 miles south-southeast of Rio Dell. The landscape surrounding Redway consists of deep, shadowed canyons and steep inclines, with Bear Canyon carving a sharp, two-mile-deep fissure into the terrain that directs the flow of seasonal runoff. Sunlight here filters through dense canopies to strike the forest floor in thin, vertical shafts, illuminating the ferns and damp soil of the John B. Dewitt Redwoods State Natural Reserve. While the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Coast Ranges hover on the horizon like ghosts of a former age, the immediate environment remains defined by the persistent, rhythmic pulse of the river winding through the gorge.

History in Redway remains inextricably linked to the extraction and stewardship of the surrounding timber, an industry that evolved alongside the slow, deliberate pace of life in these inland reaches. Residents often seek the solitude of the Woodland Trail or venture toward the quiet waters of Lewis Opening, finding a reprieve from the modern world in the stillness of the Childrens Forest. The local economy persists with a sturdy, independent character, reflecting a heritage built on the labor of those who navigated the difficult terrain long before the current infrastructure took hold. Even as the daylight fades into a deep, bruised purple, the spirit of Redway persists in the steady endurance of its people, who remain as firmly rooted to the land as the ancient growth that defines their horizon.
