How to Use This Crestview, New Mexico Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Crestview, New Mexico. 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 New Mexico 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 Crestview.

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 Crestview, New Mexico

Crestview is a locality in McKinley County, New Mexico, United States. It is a small community with a population of 279. The population density is 82.7 people per km². Crestview is located at 35.4878°N, 108.8574°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 87301.

Crestview occupies a stark expanse of high desert where the horizon pulls the eye toward the jagged silhouette of Torrivio Mesa. It lies 7.0 miles west-southwest of Gallup, NM (from Gallup, NM: bearing 247°T), and is situated 17.3 miles southeast of Window Rock. Twin Buttes Wash carves a shallow, dry path through the earth a mile from the center, its dusty bed marking the seasonal pulse of a landscape defined by sagebrush and the relentless clarity of the sun. The air here holds a thin, crystalline quality that sharpens the edges of every stone and shrub, while the vast sky deepens into a bruised violet as the afternoon wanes. To the north, the terrain gives way to the open reaches of Defiance Draw, a basin that catches the long, amber shadows of dusk before they stretch across the plains.

Crestview maintains a quiet economy tethered to the slow cycles of the high desert, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents often look toward the nearby expanse of Hadden Park for a respite in the sparse vegetation, finding a solitary peace that has defined the region for generations. While the distant shimmer of Nutria Reservoir Number 2 offers a rare anchor of water in an arid climate, the local life remains grounded in the rugged endurance of the soil. The character of Crestview reflects the intersection of ancient paths and modern persistence, where the pace of the day is measured not by clocks, but by the gradual shifting of light across the mesa.

About This Crestview Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Crestview, New Mexico. Coordinates: 35.4878, -108.8574. 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 Crestview includes the ZIP code (87301), telephone area code (505), county seat of McKinley County (Gallup), and school district assignment (Gallup-McKinley County Schools).

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.
