Explore Cokedale, Colorado, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Cokedale, CO street map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cokedale, 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 Cokedale 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 Cokedale.
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.

Cokedale occupies a narrow, rugged crease in the high-plains landscape where the earth seems to hold its breath against the looming presence of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains visible far to the west. It lies 76.6 miles south of Pueblo, CO (from Pueblo, CO: bearing 180°T), and is situated 6.8 miles west-southwest of Trinidad. The terrain here is defined by the sharp, arid descent into Cottonwood Canyon, where the dry interior air carries the scent of sagebrush and cold stone. Water flows through the Purgatoire River nearby, carving a path through the scrubland that serves as a quiet artery for the local fauna. Not far from the stillness of Madrid Reservoir, the light at dusk turns the surrounding limestone to a bruised, dusty violet, casting long, thin shadows that stretch across the valley floor until the stars ignite in the thin, high-altitude dark. Cokedale remains a singular relic of the industrial era, its architecture serving as a physical ledger of the coal mining operations that once anchored the regional economy. The landscape is marked by the persistent remnants of beehive coke ovens, structures that endure as silent, arched witnesses to the heavy labor that defined the lives of those who first settled this ravine. While the clamor of the mines has long since faded into the quietude of the present, the local character remains tethered to this legacy, preserved through the maintenance of the original company-built housing. Residents today observe a deliberate pace, living in the shadow of historical industry while finding recreation in the nearby Trinidad Lake State Park, where the expansive water provides a blue, reflective respite against the tawny, sun-bleached grass of the plains.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cokedale, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 37.145298, -104.621099. 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 Cokedale and Las Animas County.
Detailed location data for Cokedale includes the ZIP code (81082), telephone area code (970), county seat of Las Animas County (Trinidad), and school district assignment (Trinidad School District 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 Cokedale is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
