How to Use This Lapoint, Utah Map

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

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.

About Lapoint, Utah

Lapoint is a locality in Uintah County, Utah, United States. It is a small community with a population of 170. The population density is 99.9 people per km². Lapoint is located at 40.4038°N, 109.7935°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 84039.

Lapoint sits upon a high, arid expanse where the earth holds the heat of the sun long after the light has retreated into long, violet shadows. It lies 14.4 miles west-southwest of Vernal, UT (from Vernal, UT: bearing 256°T), and is situated 12.6 miles northeast of Roosevelt. Deep Creek carves a persistent, life-giving vein through the dry soil, providing a slender ribbon of moisture that contrasts with the rugged, sage-dusted plains. On the distant horizon, the Uinta Mountains rise as jagged, indigo silhouettes, anchoring the sky and lending a sense of permanence to the horizon. In the quiet hours of evening, the air carries a crisp, thin clarity that brings the scent of distant cedar and parched stone, leaving the landscape feeling vast and entirely unburdened by the clamor of the outside world.

Agriculture defines the pulse of Lapoint, where the irrigation of small, hardworking fields has long been the primary rhythm of existence. Families have cultivated these patches of earth for generations, drawing sustenance from the land while maintaining a watchful eye on the nearby Uinta Bottoms, where the terrain dips into fertile, sheltered folds. While the proximity of the Utah State Department of Wildlife Resources 127 offers a sanctuary for the local fauna, the economy remains rooted in the cycles of harvest and the slow, deliberate work of animal husbandry. Occasionally, the distant, rhythmic rush of the Merkley Drop provides a singular acoustic signature to the region, a reminder of the hidden forces moving through the rock, while the nearby Bullock Draw Reservoir remains a quiet, glassy mirror for the wide, unchanging sky.

About This Lapoint Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lapoint, Utah. Coordinates: 40.403847, -109.793479. 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 Lapoint includes the ZIP code (84039), telephone area code (801, 385), county seat of Uintah County (Vernal), and school district assignment (Uintah 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.
