How to Use This Tennant, California Map

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

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 Tennant, California

Tennant is a locality in Siskiyou County, California, United States. It is a small community with a population of 63. The population density is 71.8 people per km². Tennant is located at 41.5838°N, 121.9133°W. It observes the Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles) timezone. ZIP code: 96058.

Tennant anchors itself amidst the high, quiet reaches of the Klamath National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the sharp clarity of thin air and the persistent presence of the pines. It lies 66.8 miles north-northeast of Shasta Lake, CA (from Shasta Lake, CA: bearing 21°T), and is situated 28.0 miles northeast of Mount Shasta. Antelope Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the immediate terrain, its water moving with a cold, steady purpose that reflects the deep green canopy above. To the west, the horizon is dominated by the jagged, distant silhouette of the Cascade Range, a reminder of the tectonic weight that holds these highlands in place. The ground here is uneven and scarred by the remnants of old forest floors, while the distant, frozen crest of Hotlum Glacier catches the low, pale light of late afternoon, casting an icy brilliance that seems to sharpen every shadow in the valley.

Tennant rose from the necessity of the timber trade, its early existence dictated by the relentless demand for wood that once fueled the expansion of the West. The economy of Tennant remains tethered to the rhythms of the forest, though the frantic pace of the mill towns has long since faded into a stillness that permeates the nearby Pollock Flat. Life here moves in accordance with the seasons, from the biting frost of winter to the sudden, dry heat that turns the grasses into brittle straw. While Meiss Lake remains a distant, quiet presence in the broader topography, the daily experience of the inhabitants is shaped by the immediate, hushed isolation of the woods and the enduring legacy of a regional history built on the harvest of the timber stands.

About This Tennant Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tennant, California. Coordinates: 41.583765, -121.913337. 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 Tennant includes the ZIP code (96058), telephone area code (530), county seat of Siskiyou County (Yreka), and school district assignment (Butte Valley 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.
