Explore Pirtleville, 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 Pirtleville, 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 Pirtleville.
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.

Pirtleville occupies a low, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon stretches flat and wide, defined by the dry reach of the Sulphur Springs Valley. It lies 1.3 miles northwest of Douglas, AZ (from Douglas, AZ: bearing 312°T), and is situated 32.1 miles east of Hereford. The earth here holds the heat long after the sun dips behind D Hill, five miles to the west, casting long, sharp shadows over the scrub and hard-packed soil. Vegetation is sparse and resilient, consisting of silver-leafed sage and the occasional ocotillo reaching upward like a scorched hand, while the air remains thin and crisp, carrying the scent of parched dust and distant, cooling creosote. During the quiet hours of twilight, the sky bruises into deep shades of violet and ochre, a shifting palette that turns the entire landscape into a silhouette of quiet, desolate beauty.
Pirtleville emerged from the industry of the copper era, a legacy that remains etched into the modest architecture and the deliberate, unhurried gait of its residents. The local economy persists as a quiet neighbor to the larger regional shifts, maintaining a character forged by generations who worked the earth and the nearby smelters. Life often centers on the simple amenities of the neighborhood, such as the modest grounds of Tenth Street Park, where the community gathers away from the main thoroughfares. Those who travel the nearby Geronimo Trail find a route that echoes with the ghosts of past migrations, while the occasional seasonal pulse of Wildcat Wash, located ten miles distant, serves as a reminder of the water that dictates life in such an arid climate. Even as the decades pass, Pirtleville retains a singular, enduring stillness, defined by the persistence of its people and the vast, unyielding light of the high desert.

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.
