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

Rockvale is a locality in Fremont County, Colorado, United States. It is a small community with a population of 695. The population density is 139.7 people per km². Rockvale is located at 38.3697°N, 105.1639°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 81244.
Rockvale occupies a quiet stretch of high-plains landscape where the earth holds the deep, muted colors of sage and sun-bleached grass. It lies 6.4 miles south-southeast of Cañon City, CO (from Cañon City, CO: bearing 149°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west-southwest of Penrose. Oak Creek carves a path directly through this terrain, its steady flow providing a cool, dark ribbon of life against the arid backdrop of the surrounding basin. In the distance, the jagged, snow-dusted summits of the Rocky Mountains trace a thin, violet line against the sky, their presence a constant reminder of the vast, elevated geography that defines this expanse. Husky Park offers a small, quiet space for the community to gather, while the dry, thin air at this altitude makes the light at dusk appear unusually sharp, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the open ground. Rockvale bears the quiet, weathered bones of its history, a legacy built upon the labor of those who once sought mineral wealth beneath the soil. While the fervor of the early mining era has long since faded, the local economy now moves with a slower, more deliberate pace, reflecting the pragmatic character of the people who remain. Residents might spend their weekends navigating the Tanner Trail or observing the quiet waters of the Dry Creek Flood Control Reservoir, finding satisfaction in the simple rhythms of a life lived far from the noise of the city. Even the nearby Fawn Hollow seems to hold its breath, a reminder that the true nature of Rockvale is found in the stillness of the plains and the unyielding endurance of the land itself.

About This Rockvale Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rockvale, Colorado — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 38.369722, -105.163889. 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 Rockvale and Fremont County.
Detailed location data for Rockvale includes the ZIP code (81244), telephone area code (719), county seat of Fremont County (Cañon City), and school district assignment (Fremont 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 Rockvale is identified even where the name is shared across multiple counties or states. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
