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

Gerrard is a locality in Rio Grande County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 332. The population density is 115.7 people per km². Gerrard is located at 37.6772°N, 106.5931°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81154.
Gerrard lies at the foot of the Front Range, a place where the broad, high-plains horizon surrenders to the imposing wall of mountains. It lies 75.8 miles east-northeast of Durango, CO (from Durango, CO: bearing 68°T), and is situated 25.3 miles west-northwest of Monte Vista. The air here, thin and clear at this altitude, carries the dry scent of sagebrush and distant pine, a constant reminder of the arid interior continental climate. In autumn, the aspens on the lower slopes ignite in a fleeting blaze of gold, a stark contrast to the persistent snow that often lingers on the higher peaks well into the summer months. The land itself is a study in muted earth tones, sculpted by wind and water into subtle undulations that lead the eye toward the rugged, snow-dusted summits. Trout-bright rivers, fed by glacial melt, carve their way through the valleys, their waters a vibrant, cool blue against the tawny landscape. The bones of Gerrard speak of a different era, of a time when the promise of ore drew prospectors and miners, leaving behind a legacy of weathered buildings and a spirit of hardy independence. Though the boom times have long since faded, the echoes of that past are still palpable in the quiet streets, a whisper of boomtown energy now settled into a more deliberate pace of life. The local economy, once tethered to the earth's mineral wealth, has diversified, with ranching and tourism now playing significant roles. Travelers are drawn to Gerrard not just for its proximity to the wilderness, but for the genuine feel of a place that hasn't entirely shed its Old West character. The quality of light at dusk here is particularly remarkable, casting long, soft shadows that lend a painterly grace to the unpretentious architecture, a quiet beauty that unfolds as the day yields to the star-dusted canvas of the night sky.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gerrard, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 37.677226, -106.593097. 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 Gerrard and Rio Grande County.
Detailed location data for Gerrard includes the ZIP code (81154), telephone area code (719), county seat of Rio Grande County (Del Norte), and school district assignment (Upper Rio Grande School District C-7). 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 Gerrard is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
