How to Use This Second Mesa, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Second Mesa, 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 Second Mesa.

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.

Second Mesa rises as a stark, sandstone island above the high desert floor, its flat-topped architecture echoing the ancient, layered geology of the Colorado Plateau. It lies 76.5 miles east-northeast of Flagstaff, AZ (from Flagstaff, AZ: bearing 57°T), and is situated 54.2 miles north-northeast of Winslow. The air here holds a thin, crystalline clarity, carrying the scent of dry sage and juniper across the austere expanse that stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Mogollon Rim. Below the precipice, the Wepo Valley spreads out in shades of muted ochre and gray, a vast basin where the Wepo Wash carves a shallow, ephemeral scar into the parched earth. During the height of the summer, monsoon clouds gather in towering, bruised pillars of violet over the horizon, casting fleeting shadows that shift across the stone with the slow, deliberate grace of a sundial.

Life on Second Mesa remains deeply anchored to a heritage that predates the arrival of modern borders, defined by the seasonal rhythms of dry farming and the preservation of ancestral traditions. The local economy persists through the meticulous creation of coiled basketry and the patient cultivation of corn, beans, and squash in fields that have sustained families for generations. While the pace of the modern world pulses in the distance, the daily existence here is marked by the quiet movement of people between their homes and the workshops where kachina dolls are carved from cottonwood root. Though Lake Maho lies nineteen miles away, the people of Second Mesa look primarily to the sky for the moisture that sustains their crops, regarding the land not as a commodity, but as a living inheritance that demands constant stewardship and respect.
