Explore Oljato-Monument Valley, 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 Oljato-Monument Valley, 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 Oljato-Monument Valley.
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.

Oljato-Monument Valley rises from the high desert floor as a jagged assembly of sandstone monoliths and towering buttes that seem to anchor the very sky to the earth. It lies 110.5 miles west of Farmington, NM (from Farmington, NM: bearing 280°T), and is situated 18.2 miles north of Kayenta. The light here acts with a peculiar, heavy clarity, sharpening the edges of the red rock against a horizon where the distant Cedar Mesa Anticline looms in shades of bruised violet and slate. Only two miles to the east, the deep, shadowed creases of Horse Pasture Canyon carve through the plateau, while the dry, winding bed of West Gypsum Creek traces a path of silence five miles away, its parched channel waiting for the rare, violent pulse of a summer storm. Beyond these immediate formations, the terrain stretches out in a vast, arid expanse, occasionally punctuated by the pale, cracked surface of Dry Lake, which sits thirteen miles distant like a ghost of water trapped in the sun-bleached basin.
Oljato-Monument Valley maintains a rhythm dictated by the ancient, enduring sovereignty of the Navajo Nation, where the commerce of the present remains inseparable from the heritage of the land. The local economy thrives on the quiet gravity of the landscape, drawing visitors to the stark beauty that serves as a gateway to the broader, rugged expanse of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area eighteen miles to the northwest. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, reflecting a history defined by adaptation to a climate that offers little shade and demands much from its inhabitants. Even today, the dust of the valley floor seems to hold the quiet persistence of those who have long recognized this red-earth country as the center of their world, where the wind carries the scent of sagebrush and the stillness feels as deep as the strata of the earth itself.

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.
