How to Use This Tehama, California Map

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

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.

Tehama commands a singular position where the steady, life-giving pulse of the Sacramento River defines the very boundaries of the landscape. It lies 12.0 miles south-southeast of Red Bluff, CA (from Red Bluff, CA: bearing 150°T), and is situated 7.5 miles north-northeast of Corning. The river’s slow, deliberate movement carves a path through a terrain of sun-baked earth and sprawling oak savanna, where the horizon is held by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cascade Range. Five miles to the west, the quiet depression of Acorn Hollow catches the afternoon light, while the modest greenery of Halbert Park provides a localized sanctuary of shade amidst the open, golden plains. The air here carries the dry, sweet scent of parched grasses and river silt, a stillness that seems to suspend the afternoon in a perpetual, amber glow.

Tehama emerged from the nineteenth-century currents of trade and transit, serving as a vital point of commerce along the riverbanks when steamboats were the primary arteries of the region. This history of industry persists in the agricultural rhythm of the surrounding fields, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of the soil and the seasonal demands of the valley. Life in Tehama moves with an unforced cadence, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs, marked instead by the quiet maintenance of fences and the steady tending of orchards. Even the water at Horseshoe Pond, nine miles distant, reflects the same expansive, inland sky that oversees the daily labor of those who call this place home.

About This Tehama Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tehama, California. Coordinates: 40.027102, -122.123323. 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 Tehama includes the ZIP code (96090), telephone area code (530), county seat of Tehama County (Red Bluff), and school district assignment (Los Molinos 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.
