Explore Castleford, Idaho, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Castleford, Idaho. 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. Drag the map to pan to any area of Idaho or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, 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).
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 in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. 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 Castleford.
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.

Castleford endures as a quiet sentinel amidst the expansive, arid plains of Idaho, where the horizon stretches flat and uncompromising under a vault of relentless blue. It lies 20.9 miles west of Twin Falls, ID (from Twin Falls, ID: bearing 262°T), and is situated 7.7 miles southwest of Buhl. The terrain reveals itself in subtle shifts of gray and ochre, defined by the sparse, resilient growth of sage and bunchgrass that clings to the dry earth. To the east, the silhouette of Sunset Butte rises three miles away, a solitary marker against the sky that anchors the view, while the nearby channel of Deep Creek cuts a singular, quiet path through the surrounding dust. During the late afternoon, the light here loses its harshness, softening into a golden clarity that renders every fence post and stalk of dry grass distinct, casting long, deliberate shadows across the open expanse.
Castleford maintains an economy rooted deeply in the patterns of the soil, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pulse of daily labor and the slow turning of agricultural cycles. The influence of the Salmon Falls Creek, located four miles away, serves as a reminder of the water that sustains the regional landscape, shaping the way life organizes itself in this remote corridor. History here is written not in monuments, but in the persistent survival of those who tend the fields and manage the irrigation lines that feed the crops. Far from the distractions of urban density, the pace of existence remains measured, defined by the hard, honest work of maintaining a livelihood in a region where the land demands a steady, unyielding respect.

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. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
