How to Use This Dutch John, Utah Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Dutch John, 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 Dutch John.
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.

ZIP code: 84023.Dutch John occupies a high, arid expanse of Dutch John Flat, where the horizon pulls tight against the sky. It lies 33.5 miles north-northeast of Vernal, UT (from Vernal, UT: bearing 12°T), and is situated 32.9 miles north-northeast of Maeser. The landscape is defined by a sparse, resilient scrub that clings to the dry earth, punctuated by the shadows of distant Uinta Mountains that anchor the southern skyline. Sunlight here has a sharp, clarifying quality, bleaching the sagebrush to a pale silver and turning the rock faces into shades of burnt umber. Two miles away, the Green River carves a deep, quiet path through the terrain, its cold currents offering a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the atmosphere of the surrounding Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.
Dutch John emerged from the utilitarian needs of infrastructure, originally serving the workers who labored to harness the power of the nearby Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The economy remains tethered to the land and the water, drawing those who seek the solitude of the high desert or the meditative cadence of the Little Hole Trail. Even the nearby Ashley Falls feels like a secret kept by the geography, a sudden interruption in the steady, arid rhythm of the region. Life in Dutch John persists with a deliberate, sparse grace, shaped by the cycles of the seasons and the quiet persistence of people who choose to live where the wind carries the scent of juniper and the vast, dry silence of the interior.

About This Dutch John Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dutch John, Utah. Coordinates: 40.92707, -109.403119. 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 Dutch John includes the ZIP code (84023), telephone area code (801, 385), county seat of Daggett County (Manila), and school district assignment (Daggett 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.
