Explore West 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 West 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 West 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.

West Jordan sprawls across a wide, arid basin where the light at dusk turns the dusty horizon into a bruised purple, casting long, sharp shadows across the flat plains. It lies 2.1 miles west of Midvale, UT (from Midvale, UT: bearing 267°T), and is situated 6.5 miles south-southeast of West Valley City. Bingham Creek traces a winding path through the landscape, serving as a quiet artery that sustains the local flora despite the pervasive dryness of the region. On the distant horizon, the jagged peaks of the Wasatch Range loom like silent sentinels, their snow-dusted summits catching the first amber rays of morning long before the valley floor wakes. The air here carries a crisp, thin quality, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the distant ridges of Barneys Canyon, leaving the earth to exhale the day’s stored heat into the darkening sky.
Mormon pioneers first arrived in this territory seeking a place to cultivate the soil and establish a permanent refuge, marking the land with the geometric precision of their irrigation canals and homesteads. West Jordan grew from these early agrarian roots, slowly transforming from scattered patches of farmland into a cohesive settlement tethered to the industrious spirit of its founders. The history of West Jordan remains etched in the quiet persistence of its grid-like streets, which follow the original surveys laid out by those who first broke the hard, sun-baked ground. Over time, the humble dwellings of the early settlers gave way to the steady expansion of a modern municipality, yet the echo of those initial, deliberate efforts to tame the high desert remains present in the orderly layout of the modern neighborhood blocks.
Economic life in West Jordan draws momentum from a diverse array of professional sectors, ranging from light manufacturing to the bustling service industries that support the growing population. Infrastructure here is defined by a network of wide, efficient thoroughfares that connect the local workforce to the broader regional economy, ensuring that the movement of goods and people remains constant. While there are no major universities within its immediate borders, the proximity to the regional educational centers fosters a culture that values technical training and academic growth. West Jordan maintains a steady pace of development, with commercial districts providing a solid foundation for the families and professionals who contribute to the ongoing vitality of the local marketplace.
Culture in West Jordan finds its expression in the communal gatherings hosted at West Jordan Main Park, a central space where residents congregate to celebrate the change of seasons or simply enjoy the reprieve of a shaded lawn. Life here is punctuated by the rhythmic cycle of local festivals and the shared anticipation of sporting seasons, where the fervor for college athletics reflects the broader regional passion for competition. While residents often look toward the nearby hills for recreation, many find their own quiet beauty closer to home, perhaps while walking the trails near the banks of Bingham Creek or visiting the serene waters of Turners Pond. Although the region does not claim world-famous celebrities in the traditional sense, the true character of West Jordan is found in the everyday, diligent work of its citizens who maintain a distinct sense of place in the vast, open expanse of the West.

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.
