How to Use This Phippsburg, Colorado Map

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

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 Phippsburg, Colorado

Phippsburg is a locality in Routt County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 390. The population density is 129.9 people per km². Phippsburg is located at 40.2322°N, 106.9437°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 80469.

Phippsburg emerges from the high-altitude basin where the Yampa River carves a deliberate, winding path through the sagebrush and scrub oak. It lies 18.4 miles south-southwest of Steamboat Springs, CO (from Steamboat Springs, CO: bearing 199°T), and is situated 24.6 miles southeast of Hayden. The air here holds a sharp, thin clarity that defines the transition between the expansive plains and the distant, jagged shadows of the Rocky Mountains. Sunlight catches the dry grasses in a pale, amber glow, casting long silhouettes across the terrain as the day retreats toward the horizon. Three miles away, the quiet waters of the Whiteley-Nelson Reservoir mirror the shifting clouds, while the presence of Stagecoach State Park nearby offers a vast expanse of open land that remains indifferent to the passage of seasons. Railroad ties and the lingering echoes of coal extraction define the architectural bones of Phippsburg, marking a history built upon the labor of the earth. The local economy persists with a quiet, rugged endurance, sustained by the rhythms of the land and the seasonal shifts that dictate the pace of life. Residents move with the steady, measured habits of those accustomed to the high country, where the winters are long and the soil is demanding. While the Silver Creek Trail invites the occasional traveler to traverse the rugged terrain toward the horizon, the true character of Phippsburg is found in the daily persistence of its people, who remain tethered to the landscape as surely as the Yampa River is bound to its course.

About This Phippsburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Phippsburg, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 40.232204, -106.94366. 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 Phippsburg and Routt County.

Detailed location data for Phippsburg includes the ZIP code (80469), telephone area code (303, 720), county seat of Routt County (Steamboat Springs), and school district assignment (South Routt School District RE-3). 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 Phippsburg is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
