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

Goldfield occupies a high, sun-bleached plateau where the sharp, thin air clarifies the edges of every stone and scrub brush. It lies 18.2 miles west of Fort Carson, CO (from Fort Carson, CO: bearing 266°T), and is situated 18.3 miles west-southwest of Colorado Springs. The North Fork Wilson Creek carves a shallow, persistent path through the local topography, its water cold and clear as it moves toward the horizon. To the west, the distant, snow-dusted silhouettes of the Rocky Mountains provide a jagged boundary against the pale sky, while the nearer, darker expanse of the Black Forest anchors the landscape in a deep, coniferous green. This high-altitude terrain experiences a singular quality of light, a translucent brilliance that makes the dry earth seem to glow with a quiet, mineral intensity as the sun begins to retreat behind the uneven rim of the world. Goldfield retains the skeletal remains of its extractive origins, a legacy etched into the ground by the frantic pursuit of ore that once defined the regional economy. While the bustle of the boom era has long since surrendered to the stillness of the high plains, the area draws those who seek the solitude of the Skaguay Reservoir State Wildlife Area or the rugged, broken terrain of Maize Gulch. Life moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the proximity of the Pringtime Reservoir and the sheer, unforgiving space that surrounds the local dwellings. Visitors and residents alike recognize that Goldfield exists as a fragile outpost of human endeavor, a place where the history of industry is slowly being reclaimed by the vast, unyielding reach of the high-country silence.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Goldfield, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 38.717767, -105.126091. 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 Goldfield and Teller County.
Detailed location data for Goldfield includes the ZIP code (80860), telephone area code (970), county seat of Teller County (Cripple Creek), and school district assignment (Cripple Creek-Victor School District RE-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 Goldfield is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
