How to Use This Tancred, California Map

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

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 Tancred, California

Tancred is a locality in Yolo County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 89. The population density is 21.3 people per km². Tancred is located at 38.7652°N, 122.1636°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 95606.

Tancred occupies a quiet expanse of golden, sun-bleached earth where the land folds into the gentle creases of Palmer Canyon. It lies 21.9 miles west-northwest of Woodland, CA (from Woodland, CA: bearing 286°T), and is situated 9.4 miles west-northwest of Esparto. The air here holds a dry, persistent heat that turns the summer grasses to tinder, a stark contrast to the distant, hazy silhouette of the Coast Ranges that mark the horizon far to the west. A mile away, the water of Cache Creek carves its slow, deliberate path through the landscape, acting as a vital artery for the thirsty soil. The light at dusk settles over the fields in a thick, amber wash, softening the sharp edges of the oak savanna and turning the shadows into deep pools of violet.

Tancred retains the skeletal remains of its early rail-bound origins, a legacy etched into the alignment of the tracks that once funneled the region’s agricultural bounty toward broader markets. While the economy has shifted away from its formative industries, the rhythm of life remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of the surrounding plains and the quiet maintenance of the land. Residents find respite in the simple, managed greenery of Vernon A Nichols Community Park, or they look toward the calm, reflective surface of Everett Flat, four miles distant, to gauge the changing of the seasons. There is a profound stillness in how Tancred conducts its days, a place where the weight of the past sits lightly upon the modern, sun-drenched grid.

About This Tancred Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tancred, California. Coordinates: 38.76518, -122.163585. 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 Tancred includes the ZIP code (95606), telephone area code (530), county seat of Yolo County (Woodland), and school district assignment (Esparto 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.
