How to Use This Bouse, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bouse, Arizona. 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 Arizona 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 Bouse.

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.

About Bouse, Arizona

Bouse is a locality in La Paz County, Arizona, United States. It is a small community with a population of 707. The population density is 2.0 people per km². Bouse is located at 33.8984°N, 113.9962°W. It observes the Mountain Standard Time — no DST (America/Phoenix) timezone. ZIP code: 85325.

Bouse emerges from the arid expanse as a quiet collection of dwellings defined by the sun-bleached persistence of the desert floor. It lies 5.9 miles south-southwest of La Paz, AZ (from La Paz, AZ: bearing 210°T), and is situated 25.5 miles east-northeast of Colorado River Indian Reservation. The Bouse Wash carves a shallow, sandy path through the landscape, acting as a seasonal artery that dictates the flow of silt and memory across the plains. To the horizon, the Granite Wash Mountains rise in jagged, stony silhouettes, their deep violet shadows lengthening as the afternoon light retreats from the Cactus Plain. Beyond the immediate grit of the road, the expanse of State Trust Land offers a vast, untamed buffer where the creosote bushes hold their own against the relentless heat, creating a stillness that feels both ancient and indifferent to the passage of time.

Prospectors and travelers once recognized Bouse as a vital stop along the iron rail, a place where the promise of mineral wealth fueled the early rhythm of the local economy. Today, the pace of life maintains a steady, deliberate pulse, far removed from the frantic commerce of larger centers. While the legacy of mining lingers in the bleached remnants of old claims, the modern character of Bouse is held together by those who find beauty in the stark, monochromatic palette of the high desert. Even at Lazarus Tanks, sixteen miles away, the water remains a rare and precious mirror for the shifting clouds, providing a singular point of reflection in a world shaped by the dry, honest weight of the earth.

About This Bouse Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bouse, Arizona. Coordinates: 33.898438, -113.996245. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Bouse includes the ZIP code (85325), telephone area code (480), county seat of La Paz County (Parker), and school district assignment (Bicentennial Union High School District).

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.
