Explore South Jordan, 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 South Jordan, 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 South Jordan.
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.

South Jordan occupies a broad, sun-drenched expanse of land where the earth rises in subtle, dry gradients toward the distant, jagged silhouette of the Wasatch Range. It lies 2.8 miles north of Riverton, UT (from Riverton, UT: bearing 10°T), and is situated 9.7 miles south-southeast of West Valley City. The air here possesses a singular, thin clarity that catches the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, stark shadows across the residential grids and open plains. Midas Creek weaves a quiet, narrow thread through the local terrain, offering a modest riparian contrast to the semi-arid character of the surrounding soil. While the horizon often glows with the promise of rugged wilderness, the immediate landscape of South Jordan remains defined by its patient, expansive geometry and the persistent, golden warmth of the high-desert sun.
Settlers first arrived in the region to carve a livelihood from the stubborn, alkaline earth, driven by the same spirit of industry that defined the wider expansion across the Utah territory. South Jordan emerged through the steady labor of families who recognized the potential for irrigation and agriculture in the fertile, sun-baked basins. Over many decades, the settlement evolved from a collection of scattered farms and homesteads into a structured, deliberate network of neighborhoods and civic pathways. The enduring legacy of these early builders remains visible in the way South Jordan maintains its orderly, purposeful design, honoring the quiet grit of those who first broke the ground to establish a permanent presence here.
Economic vitality in South Jordan flows through a modern, diversified infrastructure that bridges the gap between suburban comfort and corporate growth. The region serves as a hub for professional services and regional commerce, with office parks and retail centers providing a steady pulse to the local workforce. While students often travel toward the state's major academic institutions, the local commitment to education remains a cornerstone of the professional climate. Essential utilities, including the nearby Jordan Valley Water Purification Reservoir, ensure the longevity of the infrastructure that supports the daily operations of businesses and households alike. As the engine of South Jordan continues to turn, it draws strength from a pragmatic blend of innovation and long-term planning.
Cultural life in South Jordan finds its center at the Gale Center, a place where the community gathers to celebrate shared traditions and the rhythms of the seasons. Residents often look toward the nearby Maple Hollow for moments of quiet reflection, or they follow the local interest in professional athletics that defines the broader regional spirit. The calendar is marked by annual events that bring a palpable energy to the streets, transforming the standard pace of life into a collective celebration of local identity. Whether admiring the distant, snow-dusted peaks on the horizon or participating in the vibrant, localized festivities, those who live in South Jordan cultivate a deep connection to the land and to one another.

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.
