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

Firestone, Colorado, rests on the edge of the High Plains, where the land begins to gather itself towards the imposing wall of the Front Range. It lies 7.4 miles northeast of Erie, CO (from Erie, CO: bearing 54°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-southeast of Longmont. The light here at altitude possesses a remarkable clarity, especially in the crisp autumn months when the aspens ignite in a fleeting blaze of gold against the deepening blue of the sky. Even in the height of summer, the distant peaks often retain a dusting of snow, a stark and beautiful reminder of the mountains' enduring presence. This is a landscape shaped by wind and sky, where the dry, interior continental air carries the scent of sun-baked earth and the promise of distant storms. The terrain offers a subtle beauty, a quiet unfolding of plains that eventually surrender to the more dramatic uplift of the Rockies. The history of Firestone is interwoven with the pioneering spirit that drew settlers to this part of Colorado, seeking opportunity in the vast western territories. While not a direct descendant of a famous mining boomtown, Firestone shares that hardy, frontier essence, a spirit of self-reliance born from the land. The local economy has historically found its footing in agriculture, with the fertile plains supporting a variety of crops, and the nearby rivers providing a vital resource for irrigation. More recently, the growth of Denver and its surrounding suburbs has influenced Firestone, bringing new industries and a diversification of its economic base, transitioning from purely agricultural roots to a more varied commercial landscape. The cultural character of Firestone is one of practical warmth and neighborly connection, a place where the pace of life allows for genuine interaction. While no globally recognized figures hail from Firestone, its true landmarks are found in the everyday fabric of the community: the well-maintained parks, the welcoming downtown streets, and the enduring presence of its historic structures. Local events, often centered around seasonal celebrations and community gatherings, foster a strong sense of belonging. The clear, thin light at dusk often paints the western sky in hues of rose and lavender, a daily spectacle that seems to imbue Firestone with a quiet, reflective beauty.

About This Firestone Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Firestone, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.112484, -104.936644. 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 Firestone and Weld County.
Detailed location data for Firestone includes the ZIP code (80520), telephone area code (303, 720), county seat of Weld County (Greeley), and school district assignment (St. Vrain Valley School District RE 1J). 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 Firestone is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
