How to Use This Parker Strip, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Parker Strip, 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 Parker Strip.

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.

Parker Strip unfolds as a sun-drenched corridor where the relentless energy of the Colorado River carves a vibrant, emerald lifeline through the arid expanse of the Sonoran Desert. It lies 19.6 miles south-southeast of Lake Havasu, AZ (from Lake Havasu, AZ: bearing 159°T), and is situated 7.1 miles northeast of Parker. The landscape is defined by the stark, silent presence of Empire Flat, a vast basin that stretches out to meet the rugged silhouette of Billy Mack Mountain rising sharply against the horizon. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, turning the dust of the valley into a fine, shimmering gold that clings to the ocotillo and scrub brush. Visitors standing upon the State Trust Land find themselves enveloped by a profound, arid stillness, interrupted only by the rhythmic, low-frequency pulse of water moving steadily downstream toward the distant south.

Parker Strip thrives as a localized nexus of recreation and desert industry, where the water-cooled climate of the riverbanks offers a reprieve from the intense, baking heat of the regional plains. While Copper Basin Reservoir sits quietly four miles away, the primary economic heartbeat of Parker Strip remains tethered to the seasonal influx of travelers who seek the cooling relief of the river’s edge. The history of the locale is etched into the transition between rugged wilderness and the development of modern riverfront access, reflecting a persistent human desire to master the desert’s edge. Days here move with the slow, deliberate pace of the current, punctuated by the occasional drone of engines and the long, violet shadows that stretch across the open basin as the sun retreats behind the peaks.
