How to Use This Central, Utah Map

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

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 Central, Utah

Central is a locality in Washington County, Utah, United States. It is a small community with a population of 656. The population density is 100.6 people per km². Central is located at 37.4166°N, 113.6244°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 84722.

Central emerges from the high desert floor as a rugged expanse of sagebrush and exposed red earth, defined by the stark, angular presence of Red Butte rising abruptly against the horizon. It lies 20.8 miles north-northwest of Washington, UT (from Washington, UT: bearing 342°T), and is situated 17.4 miles north of Ivins. The landscape surrounding Central is shaped by the subtle erosion of California Hollow, where the land drops away into arid washes that carry the weight of rare, sudden storms. At the edge of the property, the Santa Clara River carves a narrow, verdant vein through the dry terrain, providing a sharp contrast of riparian green against the muted ochre of the surrounding scrubland. The air here holds a distinct, metallic clarity, especially as the sun begins to retreat and the shadows lengthen across the hard-packed ground, turning the gray-green foliage into silhouettes of deep violet.

Dixie National Forest encompasses the terrain, anchoring the regional character in a vast, protected wilderness that dictates the rhythm of life for those who remain. Economic activity in Central has long been tethered to the land, balancing the quiet persistence of agricultural grazing with the slow, deliberate movement of residents who value the isolation of the high plateau. While the Gunlock Reservoir lies a distance away, its presence is felt in the local water consciousness and the periodic migration of those seeking relief from the summer heat. Travelers occasionally pass through, drawn by the proximity of the Indian Hollow Spring Trail, yet the daily existence in Central remains defined by the persistence of the seasons and the quiet, unyielding endurance of a life lived in the shadow of the peaks.
