Explore Palominas, 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 Palominas, 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 Palominas.
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.

Palominas unfolds across a high, sun-bleached expanse where the San Pedro River carves a verdant, winding artery through the arid plains. It lies 7.6 miles southeast of Sierra Vista Southeast, AZ (from Sierra Vista Southeast, AZ: bearing 131°T), and is situated 4.2 miles south-southwest of Hereford. The landscape is dominated by an expansive sky that turns the color of bruised plums during the monsoon season, casting long, dramatic shadows over the scrubland and the distant, silent silhouette of Bob Thompson Peak. Near the banks of the San Pedro River, the vegetation thickens into a dense corridor of cottonwood and willow, providing a cool sanctuary from the relentless heat that shimmers off the dry earth. Two miles away, the subtle depression of Greenbush Draw interrupts the flat horizon, serving as a reminder of the ancient, water-driven forces that continue to shape this quiet corner of the desert floor.
Palominas maintains a steady, deliberate pace rooted in the agricultural traditions and rural legacies that have long defined the region. The proximity of the San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area preserves a vast, untamed corridor for migratory birds and native wildlife, drawing observers who value the slow, rhythmic pulse of the natural world over the clamor of modern development. While the economy remains modest and tied closely to the land, the area is marked by a deep sense of self-reliance, with residents often traveling toward the Ash Canyon Trail One Hundred Four to connect with the rugged terrain of the higher elevations. Life in Palominas is measured not by industry or grand monuments, but by the quality of the light as it fades behind the horizon, leaving the valley in a profound, deepening silence.

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.
