How to Use This La Verkin, Utah Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Verkin, 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 La Verkin.
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 codes: 84745, 84774.La Verkin reveals itself as a high desert expanse where the earth wears the deep, burnt-orange hues of a sun-drenched landscape. It lies 2.3 miles north-northeast of Hurricane, UT (from Hurricane, UT: bearing 25°T), and is situated 3.4 miles south-southeast of Toquerville. The topography here is defined by a rugged, arid austerity, punctuated by the sharp, jagged silhouette of East Reef rising against the horizon like a broken spine of stone. Below the plateau, La Verkin Creek carves a winding, serpentine path through the basin, providing a cool, riparian ribbon of green that contrasts against the surrounding parched scrubland. Travelers seeking a moment of respite often gravitate toward La Verkin Park, where the stillness of the afternoon air is broken only by the thin, whistling wind moving through the sagebrush. As dusk approaches, the light stretches long and thin across the desert floor, turning the dust into a fine, shimmering gold that clings to the skin and settles into the crevices of the canyon walls.
Settlement in La Verkin originated from the determined efforts of those who sought to harness the power of the land through irrigation and agricultural persistence. The local economy, once rooted in the quiet labor of orchards and fields, now reflects a contemporary transition toward service and tourism that supports the surrounding desert corridors. Residents often look toward the nearby geologic formation known as Nephis Twist to measure the shifting weather patterns that bring brief, intense vitality to the soil. For those who enjoy the solitude of the desert, the distant Dry Sandy Trail offers a path into the quietude of the backcountry, far from the bustle of modern development. Even the water held in Quail Creek Reservoir serves as a quiet witness to the dry, persistent climate, acting as a vital mirror for the vast, cloudless expanse of the Utah sky.

About This La Verkin Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Verkin, Utah. Coordinates: 37.230872, -113.252291. 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 La Verkin includes the ZIP code (84745, 84774), telephone area code (801), county seat of Washington County (St. George), and school district assignment (Washington 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.
