Explore Murray, 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 Murray, 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 Murray.
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.

Murray serves as a central anchor within the broad valley floor, defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Little Cottonwood Creek that cuts a quiet path through the local terrain. It lies 1.5 miles south-southwest of Millcreek, UT (from Millcreek, UT: bearing 205°T), and is situated 6.5 miles south of Salt Lake City. The physical character of Murray is defined by its position on a flat, fertile expanse that stretches out toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Wasatch Range, which dominates the eastern horizon in shades of violet and deep gray as the sun begins to wane. Residents often find respite at Murray Park, a verdant expanse that offers a tranquil contrast to the urban development spreading across the surrounding plains. On quieter afternoons, the light catches the surface of Hills Ponds, casting shimmering reflections that suggest a stillness found only in the high, dry air of the interior west.
Pioneer settlers originally recognized the potential of these lands for agriculture, establishing a foundation built upon irrigation and the industrious clearing of the sagebrush-covered landscape. Murray evolved from these early agrarian roots into a significant node of commerce, shifting its identity as the regional economy transitioned from farming to industrial smelting and manufacturing. The development of the community followed a deliberate, grid-like expansion, reflecting a pragmatic approach to land use that prioritized accessibility and the efficient movement of goods. Even as the modern skyline has risen, the historical layers of Murray remain visible in the older structures that line the original thoroughfares, reminding those who pass through of the early labor required to tame the desert soil.
Economic vitality in Murray thrives through a diverse mix of healthcare services, retail centers, and regional corporate offices that sustain a robust professional environment. Infrastructure projects have prioritized connectivity, ensuring that major transit arteries move traffic efficiently through the valley while supporting the needs of a growing workforce. While no major universities are headquartered within the municipal boundaries, the proximity to significant regional research institutions provides a steady stream of intellectual capital and talent to the local labor market. The daily pulse of Murray is kept steady by these institutional anchors, which provide a sense of stability and forward momentum for a population that values both traditional industry and the modern service economy.
Culture in Murray is defined by a deep appreciation for accessible public spaces and the shared traditions that bring neighbors together throughout the year. The community gathers for various seasonal festivals that celebrate local heritage, often utilizing the open grounds of Murray Park to host these collective experiences. While professional sports remain a major draw for the broader region, residents often focus their attention on high school athletics, which serve as a primary social glue during the long, clear autumn evenings. For those seeking natural exploration, the nearby trails leading toward Hidden Falls or the rugged terrain of Tolcats Canyon offer a stark reminder of the wilder, vertical world that exists just beyond the paved limits of the suburban grid.

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.
