How to Use This Top-of-the-World, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Top-of-the-World, 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 Top-of-the-World.

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.

About Top-of-the-World, Arizona

Top-of-the-World commands a rugged elevation where the high desert air thins, offering a stark perspective over the fractured, arid terrain of Tonto National Forest. It lies 27.1 miles east of Gold Canyon, AZ (from Gold Canyon, AZ: bearing 92°T), and is situated 7.1 miles east-northeast of Superior. Sunlight here possesses a brittle clarity, sharpening the outlines of ocotillo and saguaro that cling to the steep, sun-bleached slopes, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Mogollon Rim occasionally catches the bruising violet hues of an approaching monsoon. Below these heights, the land drops away into the shadowed, wind-sculpted creases of Cottonwood Gulch, and the intermittent flow of Dry Wash Mineral Creek provides a meager, seasonal pulse to the otherwise parched earth.

Top-of-the-World exists as a quiet testament to the enduring influence of the regional copper industry, which has long dictated the rhythm of labor and the movement of heavy machinery across the scarred landscape. While the economy remains tethered to the extraction of deep-earth minerals, the local character is defined by a stoic endurance, far removed from the verdant, water-rich environments found elsewhere. Beyond the immediate reach of the mining tracks, the terrain remains largely untamed, save for the distant, industrial presence of Tailings Pond Number Three, which sits in the quiet periphery of the Globe Ranger District. Life here follows the deliberate, unadorned pace of a place where the horizon is vast, the ground is hard, and the silence of the high desert serves as the primary companion to those who call it home.

About This Top-of-the-World Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Top-of-the-World, Arizona. Coordinates: 33.3495, -110.992615. 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 Top-of-the-World includes the ZIP code (85539), telephone area code (480), county seat of Pinal County (Florence), and school district assignment (Superior Unified School 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.
