How to Use This Elmo, Utah Map

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

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.

Elmo rests upon a stark, arid plateau where the light at dusk bleeds a bruised violet across the expansive, sun-baked earth. It lies 64.7 miles southeast of Salem, UT (from Salem, UT: bearing 135°T), and is situated 14.5 miles south of Price. The horizon is defined by the immense, jagged silhouette of the Wasatch Range, which anchors the distant western sky in a haze of pale blue. To the south, the terrain descends into the parched expanse of Wildcat Draw, where the scent of sagebrush hangs heavy in the dry, thin air after a rare afternoon rain. Nearby, the water of the Desert Lake North Ditch cuts a narrow, winding path through the soil, offering a vital, meager thread of moisture to an otherwise thirsty landscape. Beyond these immediate plains, the land rises toward the wooded slopes of the Manti-La Sal National Forest - Manti Division, a dark, evergreen contrast to the bleached dust and scrub that dominate the foreground.

Elmo maintains a quiet, deliberate pace that echoes the steady industry of those who work the surrounding rangelands and agricultural plots. The legacy of the region is etched into the very bones of the geography, particularly at the nearby Jurassic National Monument, where the earth yields the calcified remains of creatures from an unimaginably distant epoch. This proximity to prehistoric time informs the local perspective, grounding daily life in a landscape that has shifted slowly over millions of years. While the economy remains tied to the rhythms of the land and the seasonal demands of rural life, the proximity of Huntington Lake provides a rare, reflective reprieve from the heat. Elmo persists as a solitary outpost of human endeavor, its modest collection of dwellings standing small against the vast, silent scale of the high desert.

About This Elmo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elmo, Utah. Coordinates: 39.389691, -110.815161. 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 Elmo includes the ZIP code (84521), telephone area code (801, 385), county seat of Emery County (Castle Dale), and school district assignment (Emery 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.
