How to Use This Sloat, California Map

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

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.

Sloat emerges from the hushed floor of Long Valley, where the persistent current of Long Valley Creek carves a quiet passage through the earth. It lies 38.2 miles south of Susanville, CA (from Susanville, CA: bearing 186°T), and is situated 10.2 miles east-southeast of East Quincy. The landscape here is defined by the expansive, high-altitude terrain of Plumas National Forest, which envelopes the perimeter in a dense, evergreen embrace. Golden light filters through the canopy during the late afternoon, casting long, lean shadows across the brush and grounding the air in a heavy, resinous scent of pine and dry soil. Beyond the immediate timberland, the distant silhouette of the Sierra Nevada marks the horizon, standing as a silent, jagged witness to the changing seasons that sweep across the valley floor.

Sloat retains the weathered character of a place forged by the rhythms of the timber industry, its history etched into the remnants of old logging lines and the sturdy, unadorned architecture of its original dwellings. Life here moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the forest, far removed from the frantic pace of the lowlands. Those seeking the stillness of the wilderness often venture toward the Madora Lake Loop Trail, a path that offers a solitary communion with the landscape as it winds toward the mirrored surface of Madora Lake. The economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a quiet resilience that persists long after the peak years of rail and sawmill activity have receded into memory.
