Explore Spanish Valley, 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 Spanish Valley, 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 Spanish Valley.
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.

Spanish Valley unfolds as a long, narrow corridor of high desert floor, defined by the persistent, quiet passage of Pack Creek as it carves a path through the sagebrush and scrub oak. It lies 60.5 miles southwest of Fruita, CO (from Fruita, CO: bearing 221°T), and is situated 7.4 miles southeast of Moab. The air here holds a distinct, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of the distant La Sal Mountains, their jagged, snow-dusted summits casting a permanent, cool shadow over the sun-baked basin. To the west, the rugged limestone formations of the Behind the Rocks Wilderness Study Area rise in defiant, contorted layers, while the soft light of late afternoon turns the valley floor a deep, muted gold. Two miles away, the quiet surface of Kens Lake reflects the vast, cloudless sky, providing a rare gathering point for the arid landscape’s meager moisture.
Spanish Valley carries the weight of a frontier history that began with early settlers who saw promise in the alluvial soil, eventually shifting from agrarian roots to a quiet, modern economy rooted in land stewardship and outdoor recreation. The rhythm of daily life moves with the sun, as residents and travelers navigate the proximity to the Moab Slickrock Trail, a demanding ribbon of stone that draws those seeking to measure themselves against the terrain. Further out, the vast, empty expanse of Burkholder Draw underscores the isolation of the high desert, where silence is not merely an absence of noise but a physical presence. Life in Spanish Valley persists with a deliberate, measured pace, defined by the harsh beauty of the high country and the enduring necessity of water in a land that demands respect for every drop.

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.
