Explore Blue Diamond, Nevada, 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 Blue Diamond, Nevada. 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 Nevada 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 Blue Diamond.
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.

Blue Diamond emerges from the arid Mojave floor as a verdant anomaly, its low-slung dwellings sheltered by the dramatic, iron-stained cliffs of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It lies 7.4 miles southwest of Summerlin South, NV (from Summerlin South, NV: bearing 215°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west of Enterprise. The landscape surrounding Blue Diamond is defined by the sweeping expanse of Cottonwood Valley, where the golden light of late afternoon catches the sagebrush and turns the desert floor into a shimmering plane of bronze and ochre. To the west, the jagged, cooling silhouette of the Spring Mountains dominates the horizon, casting long, violet shadows that stretch toward the scrubland. Water is a precious, rare guest here, occasionally traced by the modest, intermittent flow of Oak Creek as it carves a shallow path through the parched earth, while Wilson Tank remains a solitary, hidden basin marking the further reaches of this dry, high-desert terrain.
History clings to Blue Diamond like the dust on a juniper branch, rooted in the grit of early twentieth-century gypsum mining that first drew workers to these stark, silent canyons. The economy has shifted from the extraction of mineral wealth to a quiet, residential peace, though the remnants of industrial labor still linger in the weathered textures of the older structures and the purposeful layout of the lanes. Life in Blue Diamond moves with the slow, deliberate pulse of the seasons, dictated by the relentless sun and the sudden, sharp cooling of the air once the stars claim the sky. Residents here inhabit a space where the vastness of the desert remains an active participant in daily life, an environment that demands a certain humility from those who choose to settle among the limestone bluffs and the resilient, wind-sculpted flora.

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.
