How to Use This Colona, Colorado Map

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

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.

Colona occupies a stretch of high-desert terrain where the arid earth meets the sky in a long, quiet line. It lies 11.8 miles south-southeast of Montrose, CO (from Montrose, CO: bearing 154°T), and is situated 32.8 miles south-southeast of Delta. The McDonald Ditch channels water through the dry soil, carving a narrow, verdant artery that sustains the local landscape against the heat of the sun. To the distant horizon, the jagged silhouette of the San Juan Mountains provides a permanent, snow-dusted boundary to the world, while the nearby Broman Canyon drops away into shadow, defining the rugged character of the terrain. The air here holds a thin, crystalline quality, especially during the autumn months when the light turns brittle and pale, casting sharp, elongated shapes across the sagebrush. Only a few miles away, the Chaffe Gulch Dentention Number 6 Reservoir gathers what moisture it can, acting as a small, still mirror for the vast, cloudless expanse above. Colona remains a place defined by its proximity to the land, where the rhythms of the seasons dictate the labor of those who work the soil. The nearby Billy Creek State Wildlife Area serves as a sanctuary for local fauna, offering a quiet contrast to the persistent, pragmatic industry of the surrounding plains. Life in Colona feels measured by the slow movement of the sun and the occasional passage of a train, a remnant of the historical tracks that once connected these remote settlements to the wider world. While the Uncompahgre National Forest stands as a distant guardian of timber and shadow, the daily experience here centers on the maintenance of fences and the careful management of water. This is an environment of stark, honest textures, where the silence of the high plains is broken only by the wind or the distant, rhythmic turning of agricultural machinery.
