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

Durango is a locality in La Plata County, Colorado, United States. It has a population of 19,411. The population density is 420.7 people per km². Durango is located at 37.2753°N, 107.8801°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81301.
Durango rests in the embrace of the San Juan Mountains, a landscape painted with the vibrant hues of aspen gold in autumn and dusted with snow even in the height of summer. It lies 42.2 miles north-northeast of Farmington, NM (from Farmington, NM: bearing 26°T), and is situated 15.9 miles west-northwest of Bayfield. The clear, thin air at this altitude lends a crispness to the surroundings, and the dry, interior continental atmosphere carries the scent of pine and earth. Trout-bright rivers, like the Animas, carve their way through valleys, reflecting the vast expanse of the high-plains horizon that yields to the formidable Front Range wall. The very light seems to possess a unique clarity, especially as dusk descends, casting long shadows that accentuate the rugged contours of the land. This rugged beauty forms the backdrop against which Durango’s story unfolds. The bones of Durango are those of an Old West mining town, a legacy that whispers through its streets and architecture. Founded in the late 19th century, its early economy was inextricably linked to the extraction of silver and coal, industries that shaped its very foundation and drew a hardy populace. Though the mining heyday has passed, the spirit of industry endures, now manifesting in a diverse economy that embraces tourism, outdoor recreation, and a burgeoning craft beverage scene. The Animas River, once a vital artery for transporting ore, is now a celebrated playground, drawing visitors and residents alike for fly-fishing, rafting, and kayaking. The dry air, once a characteristic of the arid plateau, now lends itself to a thriving craft beer culture. Durango’s cultural character is a compelling blend of its frontier past and its modern mountain lifestyle, a place where the Old West still feels remarkably present. The historic Strater Hotel stands as a prominent landmark, a grand dame from a bygone era that continues to welcome travelers with its Victorian elegance. The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a living monument to the region's railroad history, offers a nostalgic journey through the dramatic mountain scenery, a truly iconic experience. Each September, the town comes alive with the sights and sounds of the Durango Arts Center's Arts & Crafts Fair, showcasing local talent. While the region has produced many notable figures, the enduring spirit of Durango is best captured in the everyday lives of its residents, who embody a quiet resilience and a deep appreciation for the wild beauty that surrounds them.

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 Durango is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
