How to Use This Chacra, Colorado Map

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

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 Chacra, Colorado

Chacra occupies a stretch of high-altitude terrain where the persistent flow of Canyon Creek defines the rhythm of the local landscape. It lies 6.7 miles west-northwest of Glenwood Springs, CO (from Glenwood Springs, CO: bearing 285°T), and is situated 4.8 miles east of New Castle. The air here holds a brittle, crystalline clarity, sharpening the outlines of the scrub-covered slopes that rise toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Rocky Mountains. Only three miles away, the quiet surface of Porter Reservoir reflects the wide, unyielding blue of the Colorado sky, while the nearby Glenwood Springs Debris Flow Area of Critical Environmental Concern serves as a stark reminder of the earth’s volatile, shifting nature. To the east, the rugged depression of Dolan Gulch carves a deep shadow into the arid floor, grounding the vicinity in a geology that feels both ancient and perpetually restless. Chacra maintains a character shaped by the steady, unadorned work of the interior plains, where the economy has long favored the resilience of small-scale agriculture and the quiet endurance of those who manage the land. History lingers in the weathered fences and the sparse, sun-bleached structures that mark the transition from the old transit corridors to the quiet solitude of the modern high desert. Life here moves in accordance with the seasonal transition of the vegetation, shifting from the harsh, dormant grays of midwinter to the sudden, pale green vitality that follows the spring thaw. The local pace remains tethered to the fundamental realities of the terrain, offering a stillness that persists long after the sun dips behind the western rim, leaving the land to cool under a vast and deepening indigo expanse.

About This Chacra Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Chacra, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.575259, -107.446721. 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 Chacra and Garfield County.

Detailed location data for Chacra includes the ZIP code (81601), 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 Chacra is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
