Temple in Bountiful, Utah

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a church that builds temples in addition to local meetinghouses. An LDS temple is different from a regular, chapel-style meetinghouse. These buildings are considered sacred, and given their importance the LDS church has tried mightily to build them up to reduce drive times for church members.

The map below shows areas within a 30-minute, 1-hour, and 2-hour drive of a continental US temple¹. Use the layer controls in the upper right to toggle time intervals and switch base maps.

¹ Polygons are computed per temple from OpenStreetMap road data using the r5r routing engine. Drive times are estimates and do not account for traffic, construction, or tolls. Locations for recently announced temples are approximate.

Markers are colored by temple status (Dedicated, Under Construction, Announced). Markers with a dashed outline indicate temples whose location is estimated — typically Announced sites without a finalized address.

Before temples are dedicated for use by church members, there is always an open house to the public. If you ever happen to have the chance to attend an LDS temple open house event, go.
