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

Iliff lies under a sky that seems to stretch forever, a vast, luminous dome over the high plains of Colorado. It lies 11.8 miles northeast of Sterling, CO (from Sterling, CO: bearing 39°T), and is situated 26.9 miles south of Sidney. The land here is a study in subtle contours, a gentle heaving of earth that rolls toward the distant, formidable wall of the Front Range. In the crisp, dry air, light possesses a startling clarity, sharpening the edges of the world. Even in the height of summer, the snow-capped peaks of the mountains remain a constant, cool promise on the horizon, a stark contrast to the sun-baked ochre and pale gold of the plains grasses that shimmer and sway with an almost imperceptible breath of wind. The bones of Iliff speak of a time when the West was a rougher, more hopeful place, though its current rhythm is measured by the steady pulse of agriculture. Ranchers and farmers, their faces weathered by the sun and wind, are the keepers of this land, their livelihoods tied to the generous, if sometimes capricious, generosity of the sky and soil. The town itself holds a quiet dignity, its few streets a testament to pragmatism rather than grand design, a place where the daily transactions are as straightforward as the horizon. It is a locale that demands a certain kind of resilience, a quiet strength that mirrors the enduring spirit of the plains themselves, where beauty is often found not in dramatic displays, but in the persistent, subtle unfolding of the day.

Detailed location data for Iliff includes the ZIP code (80736), telephone area code (970), county seat of Logan County (Sterling), and school district assignment (Valley 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 Iliff is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
