How to Use This Tusayan, Arizona Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Tusayan, 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 Tusayan.

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.

Tusayan emerges from the high, arid plateau as a settlement defined by the stark reach of the Coconino Wash, which carves its quiet, seasonal path through the earth nearby. It lies 59.9 miles north-northwest of Flagstaff, AZ (from Flagstaff, AZ: bearing 334°T), and is situated 5.6 miles south of Grand Canyon. The land surrounding Tusayan is dominated by the dense, evergreen expanse of the Kaibab National Forest, a sprawling woodland that presses against the edges of the streets and softens the sharp, golden light of the afternoon. Long Jim Canyon defines the immediate topography, creating a subtle dip in the terrain where the air cools rapidly as the sun retreats. To the west, the landscape rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Grandeur Point, while the horizon maintains a vast, open intensity that makes the sky appear heavier and more expansive than anywhere else on the plains.

Tusayan exists as a functional gateway, its economy and daily pulse tethered to the movement of travelers drawn toward the geological wonders of the region. Life here moves in synchronization with the seasons, shifting from the busy, dust-moted energy of summer to a profound, winter-bound solitude that settles over the pavement. The heritage of the locality is inseparable from the surrounding Kaibab National Forest, which dictates the pace of development and preserves the rugged character of the high desert. Those who spend time in Tusayan learn to read the wind and the subtle shifts in the temperature that precede a storm, finding a certain grace in the way the architecture clings to the earth amidst the quiet, enduring presence of the trees.

About This Tusayan Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tusayan, Arizona. Coordinates: 35.954961, -112.120195. 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 Tusayan includes the ZIP code (86023), telephone area code (928), county seat of Coconino County (Flagstaff), and school district assignment (Grand Canyon 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.
