Explore Collbran, Colorado, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Collbran, 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 Collbran, 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 Collbran 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 Collbran.
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.

Collbran occupies a quiet expanse of the high country where the land shifts from sun-bleached sagebrush to the dense, cool shadows of the Grand Mesa National Forest. It lies 22.4 miles south-southwest of Rifle, CO (from Rifle, CO: bearing 205°T), and is situated 14.3 miles south-southeast of Battlement Mesa. Plateau Creek carves a persistent path through the valley floor, its waters providing a steady, rhythmic accompaniment to the wind that stirs the cottonwoods. To the east, the horizon is dominated by the distant silhouette of the Rocky Mountains, appearing as a jagged, blue-tinted spine against the thinning atmosphere. Nearby, the terrain rises sharply toward the rugged creases of Muddy Gulch, while the stillness of YT Reservoir offers a reflective surface for the vast, clear sky. The air here carries the scent of dry earth and pine, a sharpness that lingers long after the sun dips behind the western ridges. Collbran remains a place defined by the quiet tenacity of the cattle rancher and the seasonal cycle of the hay harvest. The local economy is tethered to these agricultural roots, a legacy that keeps the pace of life measured and deliberate, far removed from the frantic pulse of the lowlands. Those seeking the solitude of the high country often traverse the Smalley Mountain Trail, where the elevation reveals a landscape shaped by generations of quiet industry and stewardship. Even as the seasons turn the aspen groves into a fleeting, incandescent gold, the character of the people remains as steady as the flow of the creek. It is a place where the daily labor of the land is honored, and the changing light at dusk serves as the only clock that truly matters.

Detailed location data for Collbran includes the ZIP code (81624), telephone area code (719), county seat of Mesa County (Grand Junction), and school district assignment (Plateau Valley School District 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 Collbran is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
