Explore Taylorsville, 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 Taylorsville, 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 Taylorsville.
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.

Taylorsville emerges from the expansive basin of Indian Valley as a quiet settlement defined by the persistent, cooling presence of Taylors Creek. It lies 25.5 miles south-southwest of Susanville, CA (from Susanville, CA: bearing 203°T), and is situated 10.2 miles north-northeast of East Quincy. The landscape here is defined by the sharp, arid clarity of the interior, where the golden grasses of late summer surrender to the deep, resinous shadows cast by the nearby Lassen National Forest. On the horizon, the distant, serrated silhouette of the Cascade Range anchors the sky, while the local terrain shifts from the level floor of the valley to the rugged, timbered slopes that rise toward the basin’s rim. At the center of this geography, the light at dusk takes on a heavy, amber quality, illuminating the fine dust suspended above the fields and casting long, indigo reaches across the valley floor.
Taylorsville carries the quiet weight of a place built upon the labor of the land, where the economy remains tied to the cycles of the seasons and the enduring patterns of ranching and timber. Within the boundaries of the locality, Chuck Clay Memorial Park serves as a modest gathering point, providing a reprieve where the pace of life slows to the rhythm of the creek’s steady flow. History here is marked not by grand monuments, but by the resilience of those who carved a life in this remote basin, far removed from the pressures of the modern grid. Travelers passing through may find themselves drawn toward the cooling mist of Indian Falls or the quiet, reflective waters of Kettle Rock Lake, yet the true character of Taylorsville remains found in the unadorned, persistent work of a landscape that demands respect for its rugged, inland isolation.

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.
