How to Use This Upper Fruitland, New Mexico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Upper Fruitland, 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 Upper Fruitland.
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 Upper Fruitland, New Mexico
Upper Fruitland is a locality in San Juan County, New Mexico, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,623. The population density is 81.9 people per km². Upper Fruitland is located at 36.7158°N, 108.3142°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP codes: 87416, 87401.Upper Fruitland anchors itself firmly against the cooling currents of the San Juan River, where the water carves a verdant artery through the arid high desert. It lies 5.4 miles west of Farmington, NM (from Farmington, NM: bearing 261°T), and is situated 18.3 miles west of Bloomfield. The landscape rises in subtle, sun-baked tiers toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the San Juan Mountains, which shimmer like a mirage on the northern horizon. To the west, the rugged geometry of Ojo Amarillo Canyon cuts into the earth, revealing layers of stone that hold the heat long after the sun has retreated. The air here carries a dry, sharp clarity, and at dusk, the light turns the surrounding sagebrush into a soft, muted gray that seems to hold the quiet weight of the plateau.
Upper Fruitland sustains a rhythm defined by the seasonal pulse of the river and the labor of those who work the soil. The legacy of the land is preserved in the nearby River Tracts Area of Critical Environmental Concern, a space that underscores the importance of the riparian corridor to the surrounding ecosystem. While the nearby Locke Lake offers a still contrast to the moving water of the river, the economy remains tethered to the traditions of agriculture and the endurance of local families who have cultivated these fields for generations. Life moves with a deliberate, steady pace, shaped by the interplay of the harsh, open plains and the life-giving flow of the San Juan River, ensuring that the character of the land remains as resilient as the people who call it home.

About This Upper Fruitland Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Upper Fruitland, New Mexico. Coordinates: 36.715836, -108.314244. 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 Upper Fruitland includes the ZIP code (87416, 87401), telephone area code (505), county seat of San Juan County (Aztec), and school district assignment (Central Consolidated 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.
