How to Use This Haxtun, Colorado Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Haxtun, 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 Haxtun 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 Haxtun.

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.

About Haxtun, Colorado

Haxtun rests on a vast, level plain, the kind of geography that allows the sky to feel immense, a boundless canvas of cerulean or bruised twilight. It lies 30.5 miles east of Sterling, CO (from Sterling, CO: bearing 88°T), and is situated 17.5 miles west-northwest of Holyoke. The land itself, a rich, dark loam, stretches out in ordered rectangles of agriculture, a geometry imposed upon the wilder inclinations of the prairie. In the distance, the faint, blue-gray smudge of the distant Front Range mountains can be perceived on exceptionally clear days, a spectral wall against the western horizon, though here, the immediate world is one of sweeping vistas and the persistent, dry whisper of the wind. The light at dawn and dusk possesses a crystalline purity, a thin, sharp illumination that defines every furrow and fence post with stark clarity. Haxtun's history is etched not in grand architecture but in the quiet persistence of its people and the enduring rhythm of its agricultural heart. Founded in the late 19th century, it grew from the dreams of settlers drawn to the fertile soil, an economy deeply rooted in the cultivation of corn and wheat that continues to define its character. The grain elevators, silent sentinels against the immense sky, are Haxtun's most prominent landmarks, their utilitarian forms a stark beauty in the open landscape. The town retains a palpable sense of its Old West origins, a spirit of self-reliance and close-knit community that permeates its unhurried daily life, where conversations often drift toward weather patterns and crop yields, the true pulse of this place.

About This Haxtun Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Haxtun, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.641102, -102.626858. 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 Haxtun and Phillips County.

Detailed location data for Haxtun includes the ZIP code (80731), telephone area code (970), county seat of Phillips County (Holyoke), and school district assignment (Haxtun School District RE-2J). 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 Haxtun is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
