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

Edgewater is a locality in Jefferson County, Colorado, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,932. The population density is 2754.2 people per km². Edgewater is located at 39.7530°N, 105.0641°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 80214.
Edgewater lies in a landscape shaped by the high plains and the distant promise of the Front Range. It lies 1.1 miles southeast of Wheat Ridge, CO (from Wheat Ridge, CO: bearing 142°T), and is situated 4.3 miles west-northwest of Denver. The air here, thin and clear at altitude, carries the scent of dry earth and the subtle hint of distant pine. To the west, the land rises in a series of low hills, a gentle preamble to the more dramatic peaks that etch the horizon on clear days. The town itself is a collection of neighborhoods spread across a relatively flat expanse, punctuated by the glint of Sloan Lake to the south and the slow, steady flow of Clear Creek forming a watery artery nearby. Memorial Park offers a pocket of green within the urban sprawl, a place where the dry interior continental air can be softened by the shade of trees. The history of Edgewater is intertwined with the development of the Denver metropolitan area, a story of westward expansion and the burgeoning industries that followed. Originally a collection of agricultural lands and then a hub for early manufacturing, its economy has evolved, now reflecting a diverse mix of service industries and light commercial enterprises. The proximity to Clear Creek has always been a defining feature, influencing settlement patterns and providing a vital resource. While not a grand mining town of the Old West, Edgewater carries a similar spirit of resilience and adaptation, a place where the present builds upon the foundations of a pragmatic past, and where the quiet hum of everyday life is as constant as the slow drift of clouds across the vast Colorado sky.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Edgewater, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.753042, -105.06415. 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 Edgewater and Jefferson County.
Detailed location data for Edgewater includes the ZIP code (80214), telephone area code (303, 720), county seat of Jefferson County (Golden), and school district assignment (Jefferson County School District R-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 Edgewater is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
