How to Use This Craig, Colorado Map

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

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 Craig, Colorado

Craig is a locality in Moffat County, Colorado, United States. It has a population of approximately 8,991. The population density is 686.7 people per km². Craig is located at 40.5152°N, 107.5465°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81625.

Craig occupies a high-plains landscape where the light thins and clarifies against the vastness of the western sky. It lies 37.6 miles west of Steamboat Springs, CO (from Steamboat Springs, CO: bearing 273°T), and is situated 15.3 miles west of Hayden. Fortification Creek winds through this expanse, carving a quiet path that defines the local drainage. To the west, the contours of Cedar Mountain Gulch break the horizon with rugged, dry earth. Far to the south, the distant profile of the Rocky Mountains marks the edge of the world, appearing as a faint, jagged line against the blue. Craig rests amidst these open horizons, where the air holds the dry, sharp scent of sage and sun-baked soil. Craig emerged from the grit of early western settlement, building its foundation on the hard labor of coal mining and the steady output of agriculture. The economy remains tethered to these industrial roots, reflecting the persistent work required to thrive in a land of such extremes. Even as modern industries evolve, the rhythm of life in Craig follows the seasonal demands of the high plains. Men and women here understand the value of a solid day’s effort, maintaining a legacy of self-reliance that persists in every workshop and field. Beyond the immediate town limits, the Craig Holding and Evaporation Reservoir serves as a quiet witness to the necessity of water management in this arid territory. City Park provides a central space for the people of Craig to gather, offering a patch of green that anchors the daily pace of life. The culture here is defined by an unpretentious durability, where neighbors recognize one another in the quiet hours of the morning. Local events often turn on the calendar of the harvest or the changing light of the seasons, bringing the community together under an expansive, cloud-streaked canopy. While no singular, world-famous figure claims this ground as their birthplace, the spirit of the place is built by the generations who have stayed to work the soil. Craig remains a place where the horizon invites movement, yet the land itself encourages a steady, grounded persistence.

About This Craig Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Craig, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.515249, -107.546454. 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 Craig and Moffat County.

Detailed location data for Craig includes the ZIP code (81625), telephone area code (719), county seat of Moffat County (Craig), and school district assignment (Moffat County 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 Craig is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
