How to Use This Paul, Idaho Map

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

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.

Paul stretches across a vast, arid expanse where the horizon line remains uninterrupted by anything save for the distant, faint silhouette of Burley Butte rising against the sky. It lies 5.0 miles north of Burley, ID (from Burley, ID: bearing 5°T), and is situated 5.5 miles west of Rupert. The Main Drain cuts a purposeful, steady path through the landscape, serving as an arterial reminder of the irrigation that keeps this high-desert terrain from surrendering entirely to sage and dust. At the center of the local geography, Paul Community Park provides a green anchor for the eye, its lawns offering a sharp, cultivated contrast to the surrounding fields of grain and potatoes. The air here holds a distinct, metallic clarity, especially at dusk, when the light turns a bruised, dusty violet and the shadows of the machinery begin to lengthen across the flat, open earth.

Agriculture remains the singular heartbeat of Paul, a legacy established by settlers who recognized the potential in the volcanic soil and the necessity of diverted water. The economy operates on the steady, seasonal cadence of harvest, where the rumble of trucks and the hum of irrigation pivots define the rhythm of the work week. Beyond the fields, the proximity to Lake Walcott offers a quiet respite, a place where the water acts as a mirror for the wide, unyielding Idaho sky. Life in Paul moves with an unadorned, utilitarian grace, shaped by the hard work of turning a dry plain into a productive landscape, and there is a persistent, quiet dignity in the way the residents maintain their homesteads against the prevailing winds.

About This Paul Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Paul, Idaho. Coordinates: 42.607965, -113.783351. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Paul includes the ZIP code (83347), telephone area code (208), county seat of Minidoka County (Rupert), and school district assignment (Minidoka County Joint School District 331).

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.
