How to Use This Burnside, Arizona Map

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

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 Burnside, Arizona

Burnside is a locality in Apache County, Arizona, United States. It is a small community with a population of 494. The population density is 20.6 people per km². Burnside is located at 35.7511°N, 109.6246°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 86505.

Burnside occupies a stark, elevated expanse of the high desert where the horizon feels like a physical weight against the sky. It lies 51.9 miles west-northwest of Gallup, NM (from Gallup, NM: bearing 288°T), and is situated 28.2 miles south of Chinle. The landscape shifts in color from deep ochre to bruised purple as the sun descends, casting long, thin shadows from the scrub brush that clings to the dry earth. Near the silhouette of Gah Chidi, the ground turns to a fine, restless dust that catches the light in sudden, golden flares. To the west, the arid depression of Snake Flat stretches out, a vast and silent floor that seems to hold the heat long after the air has cooled. The occasional movement of a hawk overhead is the only disruption in an otherwise motionless expanse, where the wind carries the scent of sagebrush and parched stone across the plains.

Burnside remains deeply tethered to the traditions of the Navajo Nation, with a pace of life dictated by the slow rotation of the seasons rather than the frantic demands of modern commerce. Residents often travel toward the nearby Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, a place that serves as a quiet anchor for local heritage and the exchange of traditional crafts. Water is a precious, fleeting commodity here, channeled through the dry path of Pueblo Colorado Wash, which scars the earth with its intermittent, gravelly presence. Even the proximity of Ganado Lake offers little relief from the pervasive dryness, acting instead as a rare, shimmering focal point in a region defined by its endurance. The economy persists through a resilient blend of small-scale agriculture and the quiet preservation of cultural artistry, ensuring that the character of Burnside persists in a state of watchful, dignified solitude.
