How to Use This Cibola, Arizona Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cibola, 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 Cibola.
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 Cibola, Arizona
Cibola is a locality in La Paz County, Arizona, United States. It is a small community with a population of 198. The population density is 3.9 people per km². Cibola is located at 33.3741°N, 114.6763°W. It observes the Mountain Standard Time — no DST (America/Phoenix) timezone. ZIP code: 85328.Cibola endures as a patch of sun-bleached earth where the desert heat defines the very architecture of the day. It lies 40.9 miles north of Yuma, AZ (from Yuma, AZ: bearing 357°T), and is situated 20.7 miles south of Blythe. The landscape surrounding Cibola stretches out in a vast, arid expanse, punctuated by the jagged silhouette of Palo Verde Peak rising six miles to the horizon. Deep within the Great Colorado Valley, the terrain remains quiet, save for the occasional dry rustle of brush near Crazy Woman Wash. The light here possesses a singular, heavy quality, turning the dust into a fine gold powder as the sun dips low, casting long, sharp shadows over the flat, unforgiving plains.
Cibola draws its lifeblood from the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary that anchors the local identity and preserves the sparse, wild character of the bottomlands. Agriculture and the rhythms of the refuge dominate the economy, reflecting a history tied to the management of water and the protection of migratory pathways. While Walker Lake rests eight miles away, the pace of life in Cibola remains tethered to the seasonal migrations and the slow, deliberate work of the fields. Daily existence moves with the sun, marked by the quiet dedication of those who tend the land and watch the horizon, finding a stark, unadorned beauty in the resilience of a life lived under the open, cloudless sky.

About This Cibola Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cibola, Arizona. Coordinates: 33.374085, -114.676294. 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 Cibola includes the ZIP code (85328), 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.
