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

Limon is a place where the land speaks in hushed tones of wind and sky. It lies 56.8 miles east-northeast of Black Forest, CO (from Black Forest, CO: bearing 72°T), and is situated 59.7 miles east-southeast of Parker. The landscape here is a wide, open canvas, painted in the subtle hues of the high plains. The Big Sandy Creek, a ribbon of life, carves its path not far from the town's edge, its presence a quiet murmur beneath the vast, indifferent blue. The air itself feels thin and clear, carrying the scent of sun-baked earth and distant prairie grasses, a constant reminder of the immense sky that presides over everything. To the west, the faint, almost ethereal silhouette of the Rocky Mountains shimmers on the horizon, a promise of grandeur softened by distance, while closer by, the land rolls in gentle swells, like a sleeping giant. The story of Limon is one of resilience, tied to the railroads that once promised a future of bustling trade. Though the grand ambitions of its founding might have mellowed, the spirit of enterprise endures, now channeled into agriculture and the vital role of a crossroads for travelers. The economy here is rooted in the soil, with ranches and farms dotting the surrounding terrain, their harvests a testament to the hard work and dedication of the people. The Limon Watershed L-3 Reservoir, a mile to the south, offers a tranquil counterpoint to the dry plains, a place where water reflects the endless sky, a precious commodity in this sun-drenched land. The town itself carries the understated character of a place that has seen its share of change, a quiet strength evident in its unpretentious buildings and the steady rhythm of daily life.

About This Limon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Limon, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 39.263876, -103.692174. 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 Limon and Lincoln County.
Detailed location data for Limon includes the ZIP code (80828), telephone area code (970), county seat of Lincoln County (Hugo), and school district assignment (Limon School District RE-4J). 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 Limon is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
