How to Use This Tumacacori-Carmen, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Tumacacori-Carmen, 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 Tumacacori-Carmen.

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.

Tumacacori-Carmen emerges from the high desert floor where the Santa Cruz River carves a ribbon of riparian green through the arid, sun-bleached expanse. It lies 8.4 miles north-northwest of Rio Rico, AZ (from Rio Rico, AZ: bearing 330°T), and is situated 19.4 miles south of Green Valley. The landscape is defined by the stark, angular presence of the Tumacacori Mountains standing four miles to the west, their jagged silhouettes often softening into violet hues as the afternoon light wanes. Beyond the river’s path, the terrain rises into the rugged, scrub-dotted contours of Aliso Canyon, creating a basin that traps the heat of the day until the long, cool shadows of evening stretch across the State Trust Land. This is a place where the air carries the dry, resinous scent of creosote and the silence feels heavy, broken only by the occasional rustle of brush or the distant call of a hawk circling above the scrubland.

History lingers in the soil of Tumacacori-Carmen, echoing the long-standing confluence of indigenous stewardship and Spanish colonial influence that shaped the regional identity. The economy remains rooted in a quiet endurance, balancing modest agricultural pursuits with a pace of life that favors observation over haste. While the distant Nogales Ranger District offers a deeper wilderness, the residents here measure their days by the shifting clarity of the sky and the seasonal pulse of the river. Visitors seeking a connection to the terrain might venture out toward the Josephine Canyon Trail Number 133, yet the true character of the locality is found in the stillness of the afternoon, when the intensity of the sun recedes and the land seems to hold its breath under the vast, deepening arch of the desert twilight.

About This Tumacacori-Carmen Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tumacacori-Carmen, Arizona. Coordinates: 31.5771, -111.0468. 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 Tumacacori-Carmen includes the ZIP code (85640), telephone area code (520), county seat of Santa Cruz County (Nogales), and school district assignment (Santa Cruz Valley 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.
