How to Use This Elbert, Colorado Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Elbert, 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 Elbert 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 Elbert.
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.

Elbert rests where the high plains begin their slow, determined climb toward the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Front Range. It lies 16.7 miles north-northeast of Black Forest, CO (from Black Forest, CO: bearing 32°T), and is situated 19.4 miles south-southeast of The Pinery. The land here is a study in subtle resilience, a canvas of tawny grasses rippling under a sky that seems impossibly vast and a light that feels thin and pure, carrying the scent of dry earth and distant pine. The horizon is a clean, unwavering line, broken only by the occasional weathered fence post or a solitary cottonwood tree, its branches reaching like supplicating arms toward the immense blue. Even in the bright heat of summer, the distant mountains wear a dusting of white, a cool promise against the sun-baked immediacy of the plains. This is a place where the echoes of the Old West still whisper in the dry air. Elbert, once a burgeoning settlement during Colorado’s mining boom, retains the bones of its frontier past, a quiet testament to the grit and ambition of those who first sought fortune in these rugged lands. Today, the economy is more grounded in the earth, with ranching and agriculture forming the bedrock of its sustenance, the land yielding its bounty through careful cultivation and the patient tending of livestock. The rhythm of life in Elbert is dictated by the seasons and the enduring spirit of its people, a blend of hardy pragmatism and a deep, unstated connection to the stark, captivating beauty of the Colorado landscape.

About This Elbert Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elbert, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.219434, -104.537192. 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 Elbert and Elbert County.
Detailed location data for Elbert includes the ZIP code (80106), telephone area code (303, 720), county seat of Elbert County (Kiowa), and school district assignment (Elbert School District 200). 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 Elbert is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
