How to Use This Westwood, California Map

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

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.

Westwood stretches across a high-altitude plateau where the air holds a sharp, resinous chill even as the sun climbs toward its zenith. It lies 20.1 miles west-southwest of Susanville, CA (from Susanville, CA: bearing 248°T), and is situated 8.5 miles east-northeast of Lake Almanor. Shadows lengthen across the pine-strewn floor of Westwood Community Park, which serves as a quiet center for the life that unfolds beneath the vast, dry sky. To the west, the horizon is anchored by the distant, jagged silhouette of the Cascade Range, while the immediate landscape is defined by the dense, evergreen reach of the Lassen National Forest. Nearby, the water of Mountain Meadows Reservoir reflects the clouds in a stillness that feels ancient, and the meandering path of Robbers Creek whispers through the brush, carving a subtle, cooling presence into the earth.

History remains etched into the very grain of the timber that once fueled the growth of Westwood, a place forged in the labor of the lumber industry. The influence of the Red River Lumber Company persists in the layout of the streets and the enduring character of the architecture, marking a time when the saws dictated the rhythm of every day. Beyond the reach of the mill, the expanse of Mountain Meadows provides a quiet relief from the dense thickets, offering a space where the wind moves through the grass in long, golden waves. Travelers seeking the solitude of the wilderness often find their way to the Johnson Trail, leaving behind the weight of the modern world to wander through the quiet, sun-dappled interior of the woods.
