How to Use This McClave, Colorado Map

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

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 McClave, Colorado

McClave is a locality in Bent County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 128. The population density is 14.9 people per km². McClave is located at 38.1375°N, 102.8505°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81057.

McClave rests in a wide, sun-drenched valley, where the land rolls out like a rumpled blanket of tawny grasses under an impossibly vast sky. It lies 95.8 miles east of Pueblo, CO (from Pueblo, CO: bearing 94°T), and is situated 13.0 miles west-northwest of Lamar. The air here, especially in the quiet hours of morning, carries a dry crispness, a clean scent of earth and distant sagebrush that speaks of the high plains. To the west, the formidable wall of the Front Range rises, a distant promise of snow-capped peaks even in the heart of summer, their stark blue shadows stretching long across the plains as the sun begins its slow descent. The Arkansas River, a ribbon of cool, clear water, winds its way through this country, its banks often fringed with cottonwoods that turn a brilliant gold in autumn, their leaves a fleeting, vibrant contrast to the muted tones of the surrounding landscape. The history of McClave is written in the weathered bones of Old West mining towns that dot this region, a legacy of boom and bust that still whispers on the wind. Though the silver and gold have long since been drawn from the earth, the spirit of resilience remains, now channeled into the steady rhythm of agriculture that defines the local economy. Ranchers tend herds of cattle on the vast ranches that spread across the valley floor, and fields of wheat and corn follow the sun's arc, their green shoots a hopeful sign against the dry earth. Travelers passing through McClave often remark on the peculiar quality of the light at dusk, a soft, ethereal glow that seems to linger, bathing the ordinary in a fleeting, almost sacred beauty, a moment where the day's work gives way to the quiet contemplation of the immense sky and the enduring land.

About This McClave Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McClave, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 38.137507, -102.850476. 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 McClave and Bent County.

Detailed location data for McClave includes the ZIP code (81057), telephone area code (970), county seat of Bent County (Las Animas), and school district assignment (McClave School District RE-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 McClave is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
