How to Use This San Simon, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for San Simon, 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 San Simon.

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.

San Simon occupies a stretch of high desert floor where the horizon pulls wide and empty, defined by the relentless, golden clarity of the Arizona sun. It lies 48.1 miles southeast of Safford, AZ (from Safford, AZ: bearing 144°T), and is situated 30.8 miles west of Lordsburg. The landscape carries the weight of long, dry years, with the San Simon River carving a shallow, intermittent thread through the dust just a mile from the center. Beyond the immediate scrub, the jagged silhouette of the Chiricahua Mountains rises in the distance, casting long, bruised shadows as the afternoon wanes. To the west, the rugged topography of West Doubtful Canyon cuts into the earth, while the nearby State Trust Land offers a quiet, sage-dusted expanse that remains largely untouched by the haste of the modern world.

San Simon traces its roots to the expansion of the railroad, which once turned this remote outpost into a vital artery for moving cattle and goods across the arid plains. The local economy maintains a tether to these earlier rhythms, favoring small-scale agriculture and the hard-won resilience of ranching over industrial scale. Life here moves in accordance with the scarcity of water and the extreme shifts in temperature, where Hat Top Tank serves as a solitary, vital point of gathering in the deep backcountry. The character of San Simon emerges from this isolation, manifesting in a stillness that demands patience from those who linger, watching the light sharpen the edges of the desert brush until the stars finally claim the night.
