How to Use This Lazear, Colorado Map

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

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 Lazear, Colorado

Lazear is a locality in Delta County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 196. The population density is 39.5 people per km². Lazear is located at 38.7800°N, 107.7817°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81419.

Lazear occupies a sun-drenched stretch of high-desert terrain where the air carries a persistent, crystalline dryness. It lies 21.5 miles north-northeast of Montrose, CO (from Montrose, CO: bearing 14°T), and is situated 15.7 miles east of Delta. The landscape surrounding Lazear is defined by the downward slope of the land toward the North Fork Gunnison River, carving a path through the earth that dictates the local rhythm of growth and drainage. To the west, the deep, rugged incisions of Alum Gulch mark the proximity of the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, a vast expanse of raw geological character that serves as a wild sentinel for the valley. While the jagged, snow-dusted heights of the San Juan Mountains remain a distant, hazy silhouette against the southern horizon, the immediate ground is a mosaic of sagebrush, scrub oak, and irrigated fields that hold the light with a pale, desert intensity as the sun begins to retreat. History in Lazear remains tethered to the patient labor of the soil, reflecting a legacy built upon the persistence of small-scale agriculture and the quietude of rural production. The local economy persists in the cultivation of orchards and the steady, unpretentious work of land management, a practice that has long defined the character of those who live here. Residents maintain a steady pace of life, often drawing their recreation from the nearby Baxter Reservoir or the riparian corridors that provide a necessary relief from the summer heat. This locality avoids the clamor of modern industry, preferring instead the slow, seasonal pulse of a place where the primary concerns are the cycle of the harvest and the maintenance of the irrigation ditches that keep the valley floor productive against the encroaching arid expanse.
