Explore Salome, 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 Salome, 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 Salome.
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.

Salome rests upon the broad, sun-bleached expanse of McMullen Valley, where the earth retains the day’s warmth long after the light begins to fail. It lies 24.9 miles southeast of La Paz, AZ (from La Paz, AZ: bearing 129°T), and is situated 57.7 miles east-northeast of Blythe. The horizon is defined by the rugged silhouettes of the Granite Wash Mountains, which cast long, violet shadows across the desert floor as the sun dips low. Nearby, the dry, sandy bed of Salome Wash marks the passage of infrequent rains, its path etched with the debris of past storms and the persistent roots of hardy scrub. Within a mile of the dwellings, the vast stretches of State Trust Land offer an open, quiet buffer, preserving the stark, arid character of the high desert. At dusk, the air takes on a brittle clarity, turning the sky into a deep, bruised indigo that makes the scattered lights of Salome look like embers cooling in a hearth.
Gold mining once gave Salome its early momentum, drawing prospectors to the surrounding slopes who sought fortune in the veins of the earth. Today, the economy leans into a slower cadence, defined by the quiet passage of travelers and the modest commerce that sustains those who prefer the isolation of the basin. The history of the place remains visible in the weathered structures that stand against the relentless sun, serving as a reminder of the grit required to inhabit such an unforgiving landscape. Farther out, Winchester Reservoir holds a small, still mirror to the sky, providing a rare point of moisture in a region dominated by sun and stone. Life in Salome follows the rhythm of the seasons, where the primary labor is simply existing in harmony with the vast, quiet indifference of the plains.

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.
