Explore West Sedona, Arizona, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Sedona, 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 West Sedona.
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.

West Sedona occupies a unique position where the high desert floor meets the base of towering, vibrant sandstone formations. It lies 14.6 miles northeast of Cottonwood, AZ (from Cottonwood, AZ: bearing 53°T), and is situated 2.5 miles west of Sedona. Soldier Wash carves a quiet, seasonal path through the dry terrain, providing a natural drainage for the surrounding landscape. The proximity to the Coconino National Forest ensures that the vast, protected woodlands remain a permanent neighbor to those living in the residential corridors. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, Grasshopper Flat offers a wide, open expanse that contrasts with the steep, rugged edges of the earth. From various vantage points, the distant silhouette of the Mogollon Rim defines the eastern skyline, anchoring the horizon in a permanent, geological embrace.
West Sedona grew from a modest collection of homesteads into a functional hub that supports the broader region’s needs. The local economy relies heavily on the service and hospitality sectors, catering to those drawn by the singular geology and the promise of quietude. Small businesses and professional offices are distributed along the main thoroughfares, maintaining a steady, industrious pace that defines the daily experience of the residents. While the history of the land is deep and multi-layered, the modern development focuses on maintaining a balance between infrastructure and the fragile desert ecology. Economic activity remains tethered to the unique environment, as the demand for access to the outdoors drives much of the local commerce.
West Sedona fosters a character defined by its artistic spirit and a profound respect for the surrounding wilderness. Residents often gather to appreciate the shifting light at dusk, which turns the red rock formations into glowing, copper-hued monoliths. The Bridle Trail serves as a common artery for those seeking an active connection to the nearby Coconino National Forest, where the scent of juniper and pine hangs heavy in the air. While many travelers pass through, the community remains grounded by the presence of individuals like the late artist Max Ernst, who once found inspiration in the local terrain. The pace of life here is deliberate, mirroring the slow, quiet processes that have shaped the land over countless millennia.

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.
