Explore Whitmore Wash, 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 Whitmore Wash, 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 Whitmore Wash.
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.

Whitmore Wash carves a stark, jagged trajectory through the arid expanse of the high desert, defining the rugged character of the surrounding terrain. It lies 76.4 miles northeast of New Kingman-Butler, AZ (from New Kingman-Butler, AZ: bearing 37°T), and is situated 59.8 miles south-southwest of Colorado City. The landscape here is dominated by the deep, vertical incisions of Whitmore Canyon, where the earth drops away in stratified layers of ochre and burnt sienna. Seven miles to the east, the silhouette of Lone Mountain rises against the horizon, its stoic presence anchoring the vast, silent vistas that define this territory. Sunlight plays across the limestone and sandstone walls with an unforgiving intensity, bleaching the color from the scrub brush until the air itself seems to shimmer with a dry, kinetic heat.
Whitmore Wash remains an integral component of the Grand Canyon Proposed or Recommended Wilderness Area, a designation that preserves the land in a state of profound, undisturbed quietude. The economy of this region has never been defined by industry or settlement, but rather by the slow, seasonal migration of water and the persistence of hardy desert flora that cling to the canyon floor. Explorers and researchers occasionally traverse these remote reaches, drawn by the stark isolation and the lack of human imprint upon the geological record. While Laguna Lake lies eighteen miles distant, providing a rare gathering point for life in this thirsty climate, the rhythm of existence here is dictated solely by the infrequent monsoons that send brief, violent pulses of energy through the dry riverbeds.

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.
