Explore Shongopovi, 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 Shongopovi, 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 Shongopovi.
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.

Shongopovi occupies the crown of a high, sun-bleached mesa where the earth stretches toward a vast, cloud-dappled sky. It lies 76.1 miles northeast of Flagstaff, AZ (from Flagstaff, AZ: bearing 55°T), and is situated 55.7 miles north of Winslow. The landscape surrounding Shongopovi is defined by the stark geometry of the high desert, where the quiet expanse of Wepo Valley gives way to the rugged, arid contours of the land. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Mogollon Rim marks the southern horizon, a permanent reminder of the elevation that keeps the air thin and crisp. During the heat of the afternoon, the stone structures of the mesa seem to absorb the amber light, holding the day’s warmth long after the sun has begun to retreat behind the distant, jagged ridges.
Generations of continuous residence have shaped the character of Shongopovi, where the rhythm of life is measured by the seasonal cycles and the maintenance of enduring cultural practices. The local economy remains deeply rooted in the creation of fine traditional arts, including intricate pottery and hand-carved katsina dolls, which carry the weight of ancestral knowledge. While the arid climate makes agriculture a disciplined pursuit, residents find ways to cultivate small plots in the vicinity of Wepo Wash, where the soil holds a stubborn, vital moisture. There is a profound stillness here, punctuated only by the occasional sweep of wind across the plateau, reinforcing a sense of permanence that exists quite apart from the hurried pace of the world below.

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.
