How to Use This Star Valley, Arizona Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Star Valley, 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 Star Valley.
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.

ZIP code: 85541.Star Valley emerges from the high desert floor as a quiet intersection of scrubland and juniper, defined by the persistent, life-giving flow of Houston Creek. It lies 4.2 miles east-northeast of Payson, AZ (from Payson, AZ: bearing 66°T), and is situated 17.1 miles north-northwest of Highley. The landscape is anchored by the deep, rugged expanse of Mayfield Canyon, which holds the morning light in long, amber shadows before the sun clears the distant, hazy silhouette of the Mogollon Rim. Within the expansive boundaries of Tonto National Forest, the air carries a crisp, resinous scent of pine, thinning as it drifts away from the timbered heights of the Payson Ranger District. During the summer months, colossal monsoon thunderheads bloom in the southern sky, casting a cooling, violet bruise over the dust and dry grasses that blanket the valley floor.
Star Valley maintains a steady, deliberate pace that reflects its history as a place of rugged self-reliance and slow, intentional growth. The local economy remains tethered to the land and the needs of those passing through, whether they are seeking the solitude of the Hells Gate Trail or navigating the transition between the arid lowlands and the northern woodlands. Daily life in Star Valley is marked by the sound of wind moving through the brush and the occasional rumble of a truck on the main thoroughfare, a rhythm that respects the vast, quiet scale of the surrounding environment. While the modern world presses against its borders, the people here find a grounded purpose in the maintenance of their homesteads and the management of a landscape that demands a patient, observant kind of stewardship.

About This Star Valley Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Star Valley, Arizona. Coordinates: 34.254685, -111.220709. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Star Valley includes the ZIP code (85541), telephone area code (480), county seat of Gila County (Globe), and school district assignment (Payson Unified District).
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.
