Explore Talmage, 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 Talmage, 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 Talmage.
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.

Talmage occupies a quiet reach of land defined by the deliberate, steady pulse of Mill Creek as it winds through the valley floor. It lies 2.4 miles east-southeast of Ukiah, CA (from Ukiah, CA: bearing 119°T), and is situated 14.9 miles west-northwest of Lakeport. The landscape here is defined by the transition between sun-bleached grasses and the deep, enduring shade of oak woodlands, where the air in late summer grows heavy and golden with the scent of dry earth. To the east, the horizon holds the faint, serrated impression of the Coast Ranges, standing as a silent backdrop to the daily cycle of light that shifts from the sharp clarity of morning to a bruised, violet dusk. Residents often find their way to the quiet green edges of Riverside Park, a space that serves as a communal anchor just a short distance from the water’s edge. The proximity of Lake Mendocino, sitting only four miles away, tempers the heat of the season, providing a cool expanse that mirrors the vast, cloudless sky above the valley.
History remains etched into the character of Talmage, manifesting in the quiet permanence of its older structures and the persistence of its agricultural roots. The local economy has long leaned into the rhythms of the land, moving from the foundational labor of early settlement to the contemporary patterns of small-scale commerce and viticulture that define the surrounding terrain. While Lost Valley lies only five miles distant, the life of Talmage feels self-contained, marked by the slow passage of vehicles along the local roads and the occasional sound of Mill Creek rushing over smooth stones. There is a distinct, unhurried quality to the afternoons here, where the intense heat of the inland sun forces a slower pace, turning the focus toward the shade of a porch or the cool, shifting shadows cast by the trees. Even as the region changes, Talmage retains a sense of grounded utility, a place where the connection between the soil and the people who work it remains the primary pulse of daily existence.

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.
