Explore Flaming Gorge, 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 Flaming Gorge, 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 Flaming Gorge.
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.

Flaming Gorge reveals a landscape of stark, vertical ambition where the earth has been split open to display deep layers of iron-rich stone. It lies 30.1 miles north of Vernal, UT (from Vernal, UT: bearing 5°T), and is situated 29.0 miles north-northeast of Maeser. The high desert air holds a crystalline clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the Uinta Mountains that loom against the horizon like a jagged, blue-hued promise. Within the rugged confines of Bear Canyon, the ground yields to the persistent influence of Allen Creek, which carves its way through the arid terrain with quiet intensity. The light at dusk settles against the canyon walls, turning the exposed rock into a bruised, glowing ember that defines the singular character of Flaming Gorge.
Flaming Gorge functions as the centerpiece of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, serving as a sanctuary for those drawn to the intersection of geological history and modern preservation. The economy here moves in tandem with the seasonal ebb and flow of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which provides a vast, deep-water anchor for the surrounding wilderness. Travelers seeking the solitude of the high plains might traverse the Lowline Trail, finding a path that skirts the edge of the plateau, or perhaps find themselves contemplating the descending currents of Ashley Falls. Life here remains tethered to the rhythm of the wind and the slow erosion of the landscape, maintaining a stoic independence that mirrors the vast, unyielding geography of the surrounding plateau.

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.
