Explore Midvale, 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 Midvale, 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 Midvale.
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.

Midvale defines a particular stretch of the valley floor where the earth broadens into a wide, industrious expanse. It lies 2.1 miles east of West Jordan, UT (from West Jordan, UT: bearing 87°T), and is situated 7.7 miles southeast of West Valley City. To the east, the jagged peaks of the Wasatch Range rise sharply against the sky, their summits often catching the first pale light of morning while the streets below remain in shadow. The land here feels solid and settled, a flat basin that carries the quiet, persistent presence of Bingham Creek as it makes its way through the landscape. Residents often find solace in the open green space of Midvale City Park, where the afternoon sun warms the grass and the air holds a dry, clean stillness. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the rugged terrain of Tolcats Canyon offers a reminder of the wilder, vertical world that characterizes the high desert region.
Midvale possesses a history forged in the grit of early smelting and the movement of the railroads that once converged here to fuel the regional economy. These industrial roots have evolved over time, shifting from the heavy labor of the nineteenth century into a modern hub of commerce and professional services. The transition from mining-related infrastructure to a diverse, contemporary marketplace has left Midvale with a distinct, pragmatic character that values utility and growth. Local business thrives on this legacy of hard work, maintaining a steady pace that matches the industrious spirit of its founders. Even as the storefronts and office centers change, the core identity of the place remains firmly anchored in the resourcefulness of those who built their lives in this high-altitude basin.
Cultural life in Midvale moves with the rhythm of a community that balances its suburban accessibility with a deep connection to the surrounding natural features. Visitors might take a short excursion to observe the cascading waters of Hidden Falls or spend a quiet afternoon observing the wildlife near Turners Pond. While the area does not claim a singular, world-famous luminary, the people here often point to the contributions of local educators and civic leaders who have shaped the schools and community life over many decades. Midvale hosts seasonal gatherings that draw neighbors together, fostering a sense of shared purpose that is rarely interrupted by the faster pace of the larger metropolitan area nearby. The atmosphere is one of functional beauty, where the simplicity of a clear, dry evening provides a quiet satisfaction to anyone passing through.

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.
