Explore Kohls Ranch, Arizona, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kohls Ranch, 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 Kohls Ranch.
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.

Kohls Ranch emerges from the high-altitude transition zone where the persistent, crystalline flow of Tonto Creek carves a cool corridor through the rugged landscape. It lies 14.7 miles east-northeast of Payson, AZ (from Payson, AZ: bearing 64°T), and is situated 19.1 miles north of Highley. The air here holds a crisp, pine-scented clarity, distinct from the arid intensity of the lower deserts, as the terrain rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Mogollon Rim. To the west, the topography drops into the steep, silent shadows of Big Canyon, while the surrounding expanse remains protected under the vast stewardship of Tonto National Forest. As dusk descends, the light softens into a bruised violet, catching the jagged edges of the woodland until the entire horizon seems to hum with the quiet, electrical tension of a gathering monsoon.
Kohls Ranch serves as a quiet threshold for those drawn to the wilderness, its economy tethered to the seasonal rhythms of visitors seeking respite from the heat of the plains. The history of the site remains tethered to the labor of early settlers who recognized the value of these timber-rich elevations, long before the modern traveler began tracing the paths of the Derrick Trail. Life here operates at a measured, deliberate pace, defined by the proximity to the Payson Ranger District and the enduring presence of the forest canopy. In this high country, the local character is shaped by a profound awareness of the seasons, where the primary industry is the quiet maintenance of a gateway into the deep, untamed interior of the Arizona landscape.

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.
