Dogtown is a small, quiet place in California. It's not a city or a town with its own government, but rather an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and maybe a few buildings that are part of a larger county, in this case, Glenn County.

Where is Dogtown?

Dogtown is located in the northern part of California, specifically in Glenn County. It sits high up in the mountains, about 9.5 miles (or 15 kilometers) west of another community called Elk Creek. The elevation of Dogtown is quite high, reaching 4,898 feet (which is about 1,493 meters) above sea level. Imagine being almost a mile up in the air! This high elevation often means cooler temperatures and beautiful views.
