How to Use This Avon, Colorado Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Avon, Colorado. 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 to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Colorado or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Avon and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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. 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 Avon.
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.

Avon is a place where the land itself seems to breathe with a quiet, persistent energy. It lies 3.9 miles east-southeast of Edwards, CO (from Edwards, CO: bearing 104°T), and is situated 7.9 miles west of Vail. The Beaver Creek carves a clear path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the vast Colorado sky, a constant reminder of the inland nature of this terrain. Swift Gulch offers a nearby indentation in the earth, a place where shadows gather and the air holds a different stillness. The broader region is characterized by its high-plains horizon, a sweeping vista that eventually yields to the imposing wall of the Sawatch Range, visible in the distance. The quality of light here, thin and clear at altitude, lends a sharp definition to the scenery, particularly as the sun begins its descent. The history of Avon is closely tied to the natural resources and the enduring spirit of those who have sought to make a life in this environment. Early industries likely drew from the land's bounty, though the specifics of its founding and early economy are less about grand pronouncements and more about steady, persistent effort. The local economy today, while diverse, often reflects the region's inherent appeal, drawing people to its outdoor offerings and the promise of a life lived close to the elements. The Avon Recreation Center stands as a modern testament to the community's commitment to its residents and the active lifestyle that defines this area. The cultural character of Avon is one of understated resilience and an appreciation for the natural world. The Nottingham Ridge Trail offers a well-worn path for those seeking to immerse themselves in the surrounding beauty, a place to experience the aspen gold in September or the lingering snow on distant peaks even in the height of summer. While specific famous individuals may not be intrinsically linked to Avon, the collective spirit of its residents, their connection to the land and the Beaver Creek, and the simple rhythm of daily life contribute to its unique identity. The local events, though perhaps not widely publicized, likely echo the seasons and the outdoor pursuits that are so central to the experience of living in Avon.

About This Avon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Avon, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.631375, -106.522254. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service, with current observations and a 7-day forecast also powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while a Wikipedia summary or an editorially written description provides background on Avon and Eagle County.
Detailed location data for Avon includes the ZIP code (81620), telephone area code (719), county seat of Eagle County (Eagle), and school district assignment (Eagle County School District RE 50). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any US city or town.
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 — ensuring the correct Avon is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
