How to Use This Catherine, Colorado Map

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

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 Catherine, Colorado

Catherine is a locality in Garfield County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 255. The population density is 131.3 people per km². Catherine is located at 39.4072°N, 107.1528°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81623.

Catherine emerges from the high-altitude landscape where the cold, rushing currents of the Roaring Fork River slice through the earth, defining the very contours of the valley floor. It lies 13.5 miles southeast of Glenwood Springs, CO (from Glenwood Springs, CO: bearing 137°T), and is situated 3.1 miles east of Carbondale. The air here possesses a crystalline quality, sharpening the edges of the distant Elk Mountains that loom as jagged, snow-dusted silhouettes against the wide, dry sky. Beyond the immediate riverbanks, the terrain rises into rugged, arid slopes that find a wild, untamed stillness as they approach the boundaries of the nearby White River National Forest. In the late afternoon, the light softens into a pale, bruised violet, casting long shadows that stretch across the sparse, drought-hardened scrub and sun-bleached grasses that define the character of the soil. Catherine preserves the quiet, utilitarian remnants of its agrarian origins, where the rhythmic cycles of ranching and irrigation have long dictated the pace of the day. Economic life remains tethered to the land, drawing sustenance from the seasonal shifts that dictate the flow of water from the heights down toward Bowles Gulch and the distant glimmer of Spring Park Reservoir. While the modern world hums in the distance, life here follows the slow, deliberate work of maintaining fences and managing the thin, parched acreage that resists the encroaching intensity of the sun. Those who seek the solitude of the Blue Creek Trail or the distant, thundering descent of Whitnach Falls find a landscape that demands a respectful, quiet endurance, reflecting the stark, unadorned history of a place that has always favored the resilient over the ornamental.

About This Catherine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Catherine, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.407206, -107.152828. 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 Catherine and Garfield County.

Detailed location data for Catherine includes the ZIP code (81623), telephone area code (719), county seat of Garfield County (Glenwood Springs), and school district assignment (Roaring Fork 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 Catherine is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
