How to Use This Cathedral, Colorado Map

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

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 Cathedral, Colorado

Cathedral is a locality in Hinsdale County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 13. Cathedral is located at 38.0958°N, 107.0339°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81235.

Cathedral holds a stillness defined by the persistent, cold rush of Spring Creek as it carves a path through the high-altitude terrain. It lies 52.8 miles east-southeast of Montrose, CO (from Montrose, CO: bearing 120°T), and is situated 31.6 miles south of Gunnison. The land rises in rugged stages, eventually giving way to the distant, jagged silhouettes of the San Juan Mountains that guard the western horizon. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the landscape shifts toward the arid, sweeping expanse of Sanders Draw, where the earth is hardened by thin, dry air and the unrelenting clarity of the sun. Those who walk the nearby Devils Hole Trail find themselves passing through the expansive Powderhorn Wilderness Area, a territory where the ground remains quiet and the silence is punctuated only by the wind moving through the sparse, resilient vegetation. Cathedral bears the quiet gravity of a place shaped by the slow, deliberate work of the earth and the passage of generations. The local economy remains tethered to the land, drawing from the rugged character of a region where ranching and the stewardship of the wilderness define the daily cycle. Life here is measured by the changing light, from the sharp, crystalline brilliance of a summer morning to the long, deep shadows that settle over the valley as evening approaches. Residents often look toward the quiet waters of Dry Lake to observe the seasonal shifts, finding in its reflection the same stoic endurance that has long anchored the people of Cathedral to this high, interior basin.

About This Cathedral Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cathedral, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 38.095829, -107.033937. 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 Cathedral and Hinsdale County.

Detailed location data for Cathedral includes the ZIP code (81235), telephone area code (719), county seat of Hinsdale County (Lake City), and school district assignment (Hinsdale County School District RE-1). 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 Cathedral is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
