How to Use This Salmon Creek, California Map

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

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.

About Salmon Creek, California

Salmon Creek is a locality in Sonoma County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 111. The population density is 38.5 people per km². Salmon Creek is located at 38.3505°N, 123.0622°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 94923.

Salmon Creek carves a narrow, rhythmic path through the rugged landscape before spilling its seasonal currents into the vast, churning Pacific Ocean. It lies 19.0 miles southwest of Windsor, CA (from Windsor, CA: bearing 224°T), and is situated 19.8 miles west-southwest of Santa Rosa. This edge of the world is defined by the Sonoma Coast State Park, where the salt-heavy air carries the damp weight of an eternal mist that clings to the scrub and wind-sculpted grasses. Beyond the immediate reach of the tide, the land rises into undulating hills that turn to a brittle gold under the fierce summer sun, while the deeper shadows of the terrain hold the cool, dark stillness of Watercress Gulch. Far to the east, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Coast Ranges marks the limit of the horizon, standing as a silent sentinel over the shifting dunes and the driftwood-strewn shoreline.

History at Salmon Creek remains tethered to the pulse of the water, an economy once shaped by the harvest of the sea and the patient labor of those who recognized the value in this wild, unyielding littoral zone. While the distant, serene surface of Jenner Pond sits inland, the daily life here is governed by the erratic, powerful rhythms of the Pacific Ocean and the seasonal pulses of the watershed. Residents find a quiet continuity in the patterns of the tides and the long, slow migration of the fog, moving with a deliberate pace that ignores the frantic speed of the world beyond the hills. Though the Monte Rio Fire Trail offers a challenging climb for those seeking a wider perspective, the true character of Salmon Creek is found in the simple, enduring interplay between the dark, forested upland and the relentless, white-capped spray of the coast.

About This Salmon Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Salmon Creek, California. Coordinates: 38.350472, -123.062224. 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 Salmon Creek includes the ZIP code (94923), telephone area code (510), county seat of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa), and school district assignment (Shoreline Unified 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.
