How to Use This Oxbow Estates, Arizona Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oxbow Estates, 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 Oxbow Estates.
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.

ZIP code: 85541.Oxbow Estates occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Saint Johns Creek carves a path through the arid earth, defining the very pulse of the landscape. It lies 3.4 miles south-southwest of Payson, AZ (from Payson, AZ: bearing 195°T), and is situated 6.8 miles southwest of Star Valley. This environment remains deeply connected to the Tonto National Forest, which encompasses the terrain and provides a sprawling backdrop of high-desert flora and rugged woodland. To the north, the distant silhouette of the Mogollon Rim rises against the sky, often gathering heavy monsoon thunderheads that darken the horizon with the promise of cooling rain. The light here possesses a singular, golden clarity at dusk, turning the dust of the valley into a fine, shimmering haze that settles over the brush and the dry beds of Lousy Gulch.
Oxbow Estates reflects the enduring character of a region built on the slow, methodical labor of those who work the land and the nearby Payson Ranger District. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the forest and the careful management of natural resources, a legacy that keeps the pace of life measured and deliberate. While the terrain is stark, the presence of the Saint Johns Creek ensures a persistent, if modest, vitality that supports local life away from the bustle of larger urban centers. Residents often look toward the North Peak Trail for recreation, finding a solitary peace in the ascent that is mirrored in the quiet, unadorned daily existence of those who call Oxbow Estates their home.

About This Oxbow Estates Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oxbow Estates, Arizona. Coordinates: 34.183092, -111.340413. 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 Oxbow Estates includes the ZIP code (85541), telephone area code (480), county seat of Gila County (Globe), and school district assignment (Payson Unified 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.
