How to Use This Ballard, Utah Map

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

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.

Ballard occupies a quiet expanse of high-desert terrain where the horizon is defined by the sharp, atmospheric clarity of the distant Uinta Mountains. It lies 24.7 miles west-southwest of Vernal, UT (from Vernal, UT: bearing 242°T), and is situated 2.5 miles east-southeast of Roosevelt. The land around Ballard consists of broad, arid flats that catch the pale, thinning light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the sagebrush and dry grasses. To the west, the landscape dips toward the gentle depression of Cobble Hollow, while the nearby Harding Lateral cuts a thin, predictable line through the soil, offering a vital ribbon of moisture in an otherwise parched geography. The air here holds a stillness that seems to press against the skin, particularly when the wind settles and the heat of the day retreats into the cooling earth.

Ballard maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, anchored by a history of agricultural persistence that still shapes the local economy today. Families here have long worked the surrounding acreage, finding rhythm in the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest that define the regional character. Residents often gather at Old Mill Park for moments of reprieve, while the proximity of Montes Creek Reservoir provides a rare, glassy surface of water that mirrors the vast, cloudless sky. Despite the modern pace of the outside world, Ballard remains defined by its functional modesty, where the labor of the day and the wide, open sky dictate the boundaries of the local experience.

About This Ballard Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ballard, Utah. Coordinates: 40.294842, -109.949362. 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 Ballard includes the ZIP code (84124, 84066), telephone area code (801, 385), county seat of Uintah County (Vernal), and school district assignment (Uintah School District).

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.
