Explore Riverton, 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 Riverton, 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 Riverton.
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.

Riverton unfolds across a broad, elevated plain that catches the amber light of the setting sun with a quiet, persistent clarity. It lies 2.2 miles north of Bluffdale, UT (from Bluffdale, UT: bearing 0°T), and is situated 6.1 miles south of West Jordan. The Jordan River flows just one mile away, carving a modest path through the landscape that defines the local drainage and greenery. To the distant east, the jagged peaks of the Wasatch Range silhouette themselves against the sky, offering a permanent sense of scale to the horizon. Within the immediate vicinity, Riverton City Park provides a central green space where the air often holds the crisp, dry scent of high-altitude sagebrush. Further afield, the terrain dips toward Wood Hollow, a reminder of the subtle depressions that shape the regional topography.
Riverton maintains a legacy rooted in the industrious spirit of early settlers who recognized the potential of the fertile soil and open spaces. The local economy has transitioned from its agrarian origins to a balanced mix of professional services and suburban commerce, supporting a steady, deliberate pace of life. Modern businesses and light industry now populate the corridors that once served as quiet farm lanes, reflecting a transition into the contemporary era. This shift has not erased the underlying character of the land, which remains defined by a commitment to steady growth and organized development. Even as the architecture modernizes, the fundamental work ethic of the region remains tied to the practical realities of a desert-adjacent economy.
Riverton cultivates a cultural identity centered on family life and the quiet traditions of the surrounding neighborhoods. Residents often gather for community events at Riverton City Park, which serves as a focal point for seasonal celebrations and local interaction. The atmosphere is one of deliberate calm, where the predictable changing of the seasons dictates the rhythm of the year more than the frantic pace of larger metropolitan hubs. While the region is not defined by individual fame, it remains connected to the broader history of the American West through its preservation of traditional values. Life in Riverton remains focused on the immediate, tangible experiences of a suburban life balanced against the grandeur of the distant, silent mountains.

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.
