How to Use This Six Shooter Canyon, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Six Shooter Canyon, 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 Six Shooter Canyon.

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.

Six Shooter Canyon reveals itself as a rugged corridor of stratified rock and desert scrub, where the arid earth yields to the persistent, low-slung course of Pinal Creek. It lies 40.1 miles east of Gold Canyon, AZ (from Gold Canyon, AZ: bearing 90°T), and is situated 2.4 miles south-southeast of Globe. The landscape here is defined by the stark verticality of canyon walls, which trap the amber light of late afternoon until the shadows stretch thin and sharp across the valley floor. Vegetation clings to the slopes in defiant patches of saguaro and ocotillo, their silhouettes etched against a sky that periodically bruises with the heavy, dark violet of monsoon clouds gathering over the distant Mogollon Rim. A profound silence resides in the heat, broken only by the dry rasp of wind through manzanita or the occasional shift of shale underfoot, underscoring the raw, geological patience of the Tonto National Forest that blankets the entire terrain.

History in Six Shooter Canyon is inextricably tied to the mineral wealth that once drew prospectors into the folds of the surrounding hills, leaving behind a legacy of abandoned shafts and the persistent, industrial memory of copper extraction. While the economy has shifted away from the frantic pace of early mining, the town remains a quiet outpost of industry and residential life, often defined by the proximity of Icehouse Canyon and the far-off, man-made stillness of Tailings Pond Number Three. Daily life moves with the deliberate, unforced tempo of the high desert, where residents navigate the transition between the modern world and the vast, untamed reaches of the Globe Ranger District. Visitors traversing the path of Pinal Creek might sense the echoes of those who first sought their fortunes in these red-rock depths, finding that Six Shooter Canyon retains a singular, austere character that resists the soft gloss of easy tourism.
