How to Use This Strawberry Valley, California Map

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

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 Strawberry Valley, California

Strawberry Valley is a locality in Yuba County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 5.0 people per km². Strawberry Valley is located at 39.5641°N, 121.1069°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95981.

Strawberry Valley emerges from the dense, pine-scented embrace of the Plumas National Forest, where the landscape rises in a series of rugged, timbered slopes that define the character of the terrain. It lies 24.0 miles north of Grass Valley, CA (from Grass Valley, CA: bearing 354°T), and is situated 19.6 miles east of Oroville East. Kentucky Creek cuts a clear, persistent path through the earth nearby, its waters carving a quiet rhythm through the bedrock and feeding the cool, shadowed hollows that define this inland geography. High above the horizon, the distant, snow-dusted spine of the Sierra Nevada stands as a silent sentinel, watching over the deep woodland. The air here holds a crisp, thin quality, flavored by the scent of pine resin and damp earth, while the light at dusk settles in long, amber shafts that catch the needles of the towering conifers, casting the forest floor into a mosaic of shifting gray and gold.

Strawberry Valley bears the marks of a history rooted in the extraction of gold and timber, a legacy that still informs the slow, deliberate pace of life among the scattered dwellings and local outposts. While the fever of the old prospectors has long since faded, the proximity to Rich Gulch and the presence of Sly Creek Reservoir remind the modern traveler of the constant, quiet movement of water through this high country. Economic life remains tethered to the land, whether through the stewardship of the surrounding timberlands or the seasonal rhythms of those who seek the solitude of the wilderness. For the determined wanderer, the path toward the Fiddle Creek Trail offers a way to traverse the wider expanse, connecting the small, quiet clusters of Strawberry Valley to the vast, wild stretches of the forest that continue, uninterrupted, toward the horizon.

About This Strawberry Valley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Strawberry Valley, California. Coordinates: 39.564057, -121.106902. 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 Strawberry Valley includes the ZIP code (95981), telephone area code (530), county seat of Yuba County (Marysville), and school district assignment.

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.
