How to Use This Larkspur, Colorado Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Larkspur, 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 Larkspur 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 Larkspur.
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 Larkspur, Colorado
Larkspur is a locality in Douglas County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 131. The population density is 41.5 people per km². Larkspur is located at 39.2286°N, 104.8872°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 80118.
Larkspur rests against the dramatic rise of the Front Range, a place where the high plains begin their upward sweep toward snow-capped peaks. It lies 9.5 miles north of Monument, CO (from Monument, CO: bearing 355°T), and is situated 9.0 miles north-northwest of Woodmoor. The land here is a study in contrasts: sun-baked scrubland gives way to the deep green of pine forests, and the air, thin and clear at this altitude, carries the scent of resin and dry earth. In autumn, the aspens ignite in a riot of gold, a fleeting brilliance against the evergreens, and even in the height of summer, slivers of snow often cling to the highest reaches, a stark white against the impossible blue of the Colorado sky. The Poudre River, a trout-bright artery, carves its way through the landscape, its cool waters a constant murmur against the silence of the mountains. The bones of Larkspur are those of an old West mining town, a legacy whispered in the weathered wood of its historic buildings and the faint echoes of pickaxes against rock. Though the mines have long since fallen quiet, the spirit of hardy enterprise persists, now channeled into a vibrant local economy that favors independent shops and artisan crafts, drawing travelers seeking an authentic taste of Colorado. The dry, interior continental air that defines Larkspur lends a crispness to life, a bracing clarity that seems to infuse the very rhythm of the neighborhood. It is a place where one can still feel the weight of history in the broad, unpaved avenues, a quiet defiance against the relentless march of modernity.

About This Larkspur Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Larkspur, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.228602, -104.887203. 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 Larkspur and Douglas County.
Detailed location data for Larkspur includes the ZIP code (80118), telephone area code (303, 720), county seat of Douglas County (Castle Rock), and school district assignment (Douglas County 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 Larkspur is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
