Explore East Basin, Utah, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for East Basin, 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 East Basin.
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.

East Basin spreads across a high, arid expanse where the persistent Silver Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the sagebrush and dry earth. It lies 16.4 miles north-northwest of Heber, UT (from Heber, UT: bearing 346°T), and is situated 6.6 miles east-southeast of Summit Park. Beyond the immediate riparian corridor, the terrain shifts into a series of parched, undulating ridges that mirror the rugged posture of the distant Wasatch Range, visible as a jagged charcoal line against the pale western sky. The air here holds a sharp, thin clarity, often carrying the scent of parched earth and bitterbrush, especially when the afternoon light flattens the shadows and turns the surrounding slopes a dusty, muted gold. To the north, the land rises toward the higher elevations of the Wasatch National Forest, where the moisture gathers more readily than it does in these lower, sun-bleached stretches of the basin.
East Basin preserves the quiet, utilitarian austerity of a landscape shaped by the necessity of water and the persistence of those who worked the soil. The nearby Gilmore/Stoneridge provides a buffer of protected land, keeping the encroachment of modern development at a distance and allowing the local rhythm to remain tethered to the slow cycles of the season rather than the frantic pace of the urban centers further west. While the residents often look toward the nearby Round Valley for open space or travel eight miles to reach the Lake Desolation Trail for recreation, the economy remains rooted in the practical realities of a region defined by its distance from the more populous corridors. Even with the proximity of Rockport Lake six miles away, the character of East Basin is defined more by the dry, resilient scrub and the quiet passage of the creek than by the presence of open water, maintaining a solitude that feels as permanent as the geology itself.

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.
