Utah is in the western part of the United States, in the region often called the Mountain West.

Quick Scoop: Where Utah Sits on the Map

  • On a map of the whole U.S., look toward the middle of the western half of the country.
  • Utah is landlocked (no ocean coast) and sits just east of Nevada and west of Colorado.
  • It is one of the “Four Corners” states, touching Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico at a single point in its southeast corner.

What States Border Utah?

  • West: Nevada.
  • North: Idaho.
  • Northeast: Wyoming.
  • East: Colorado.
  • South: Arizona.
  • Southeast (at just one point): New Mexico (the Four Corners).

How to Visualize It Quickly

If you imagine the lower 48 U.S. states as a rectangle:

  1. Find California on the West Coast.
  2. Move one state inland to the east: that’s Nevada.
  3. Move one more state to the east: that’s Utah.

At the bottom right of Utah is the famous Four Corners spot where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico all meet.
