Explore Elk Ridge, 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 Elk Ridge, 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 Elk Ridge.
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.

Elk Ridge commands a high, sun-bleached prominence where the air thins into a crisp, crystalline clarity that reveals the distant, jagged spine of the Wasatch Range against the western horizon. It lies 2.9 miles south of Salem, UT (from Salem, UT: bearing 184°T), and is situated 7.3 miles south of Spanish Fork. Broad Hollow stretches out in a subtle, downward sweep below the residential slopes, while the land around Schuler Park captures the quiet, persistent stillness of the high desert plateau. When the light shifts at day’s end, the earth takes on a bruised, violet hue, casting long shadows that emphasize the rugged, uneven skin of the terrain. The nearby Peteetneet Creek cuts a modest, rhythmic path through the lower reaches, its presence marked more by the silver flash of willows than by the volume of its flow, providing a persistent, low-frequency hum to the silence that defines the local atmosphere.
Elk Ridge sustains a deliberate, measured pace of life, reflecting a history rooted in the quiet expansion of families seeking refuge from the crowded valley floors. The economy remains largely tethered to the industrious pulse of the wider region, though the local character is defined by a fierce commitment to privacy and the preservation of the open, scrub-dotted landscape. Residents often traverse the miles toward the Diamond Fork Youth Forest for recreation, or look toward the distant, shimmering cascade of Bridal Veil Falls as a landmark of the broader geography. Even as the modern world encroaches, the proximity of Dry Lake Reservoir serves as a reminder of the scarcity and value of water in this arid climate. Life here is measured in the seasonal turn of the sagebrush and the way the morning frost clings to the high-altitude grasses, keeping the spirit of the place anchored firmly to the rocky soil.

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.
