How to Use This Kim, Colorado Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kim, 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 Kim 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 Kim.
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.

Kim rests under a vast Colorado sky, a place where the prairie whispers secrets to the wind. It lies 97.8 miles southeast of Pueblo, CO (from Pueblo, CO: bearing 135°T), and is situated 52.1 miles south-southeast of La Junta. The landscape unfolds in broad, open sweeps, a canvas of sun-baked earth and hardy, low-lying vegetation that stretches toward a distant, hazy horizon. Gentle undulations in the terrain break the monotony of the plains, hinting at the subterranean work of water and time, and the air here, dry and clear, carries the scent of dust and sun-warmed grasses. Two Butte Creek, a ribbon of life, meanders a short distance away, its presence a subtle promise of moisture in this arid expanse. The history of Kim is as deeply rooted as the sparse grasses that cling to the land, a testament to the tenacity of those who settled here. This locality, situated on the edge of the Comanche National Grassland, has long been shaped by the cycles of ranching and agriculture, its economy tied to the bounty of the earth and the enduring spirit of its people. The faint echo of the Old West can still be felt in the quietude, a sense that the land itself holds stories of pioneers and their struggles. Life in Kim moves at a pace dictated by the sun and the seasons, a deliberate rhythm that stands in contrast to the clamor of busier places, and the thin, clear light that bathes the landscape, especially in the late afternoon, lends a profound and quiet beauty to the scene.

About This Kim Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kim, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 37.246686, -103.352161. 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 Kim and Las Animas County.
Detailed location data for Kim includes the ZIP code (81049), telephone area code (970), county seat of Las Animas County (Trinidad), and school district assignment (Kim Reorganized School District 88). 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 Kim is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
