How to Use This Julesburg, Colorado Map

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

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.

Julesburg rests on the eastern edge of Colorado, where the vast, flat plains begin their gentle swell towards the distant, snow-capped ramparts of the Front Range. It lies 55.3 miles east-northeast of Sterling, CO (from Sterling, CO: bearing 63°T), and is situated 30.0 miles west-southwest of Ogallala. The sky here is an immense canvas, often a piercing, cloudless blue that sharpens the edges of the landscape, lending a clarity to the sparse vegetation and the meandering lines of irrigation ditches that crisscross the fields. In late afternoon, the sun sinks with a slow, deliberate grace, casting long, honeyed shadows that stretch and distort across the dry earth, a daily spectacle of light and shadow on a grand scale. The air itself, thin and dry at this altitude, carries the scent of dust and sun-baked soil, a subtle perfume of the high plains. The history of Julesburg is inextricably linked to the relentless westward expansion, a place that once served as a vital stagecoach station and later a railroad hub, its very name echoing the ambition and rough-and-tumble spirit of its early days. Though the grander ambitions of a booming frontier town have long since settled into the quieter hum of agricultural life, the echoes of that past can still be felt in the sturdy, unpretentious architecture and the resilient spirit of its inhabitants. Today, the economy of Julesburg is rooted in the fertile soil and the ceaseless flow of water from the South Platte River, supporting fields of corn and sugar beets that paint the landscape in broad strokes of green and gold. It's a place where the present is built upon the foundation of a hard-won past, a quiet testament to endurance on the open plains.

About This Julesburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Julesburg, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.988326, -102.264352. 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 Julesburg and Sedgwick County.

Detailed location data for Julesburg includes the ZIP code (80737), telephone area code (970), county seat of Sedgwick County (Julesburg), and school district assignment (Julesburg 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 Julesburg is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
