How to Use This Laird, Colorado Map

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

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 Laird, Colorado

Laird is a locality in Yuma County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 4. The population density is 38.1 people per km². Laird is located at 40.0825°N, 102.1035°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 80758.

Laird rests on a broad plateau, where the high plains, a canvas of ochre and sage, gradually surrender to the imposing, snow-dusted ramparts of the Front Range. It lies 69.2 miles east-southeast of Sterling, CO (from Sterling, CO: bearing 122°T), and is situated 6.3 miles east of Wray. The air here, at altitude, possesses a crystalline clarity, especially in the sharp, bright light of mid-morning, and the land itself is a study in subtle, enduring textures – the whisper-dry grasses, the occasional hardy scrub oak, the distant, almost geometric lines of irrigation ditches tracing their patient paths across the earth. Even in the height of summer, the distant peaks retain a dusting of white, a cool promise against the vast, open sky, and the wind, an ever-present companion, carries the scent of dry earth and the faint, sweet perfume of distant pine. The bones of old mining towns, remnants of a more boisterous era, lie scattered in the vicinity of Laird, though the present economy hums with a quieter, more agricultural rhythm. Ranching and dryland farming, coaxing sustenance from the often-parched soil, form the backbone of daily life, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who have made this challenging landscape their home. The local river, a ribbon of silver and emerald, teems with trout, its cool, clear waters a vital artery in this arid interior, offering both sustenance and a quiet beauty that belies the starkness of the surrounding plains. Travelers often remark on the profound stillness that descends as dusk begins to paint the western sky in hues of rose and amethyst, a moment of singular peace unique to this high-country expanse.

About This Laird Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Laird, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.08249, -102.103522. 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 Laird and Yuma County.

Detailed location data for Laird includes the ZIP code (80758), telephone area code (970), county seat of Yuma County (Wray), and school district assignment (Wray School District RD-2). 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 Laird is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
