Arizona: shape, counties and terrain

Arizona spans about 330 miles from east to west and 392 miles from north to south, with 113,655 square miles of land. Its outline is fairly compact: the state fills 86% of the box drawn around it on the map. The boundary is a single piece of land with no islands.

Arizona has 15 counties. The largest by land area is Coconino County (18,616 sq mi) and the smallest is Santa Cruz County (1,236 sq mi). The capital, Phoenix, sits at 1,088 ft downtown (USGS).

Elevation runs from 70 ft (21 m) on the Colorado River to 12,637 ft (3,852 m) at Mount Humphreys in Coconino County, a range of 12,567 ft. The sampled average is about 4,300 ft.

On the relief map's elevation grid, 58% of the state lies below 5,000 ft, 41% between 5,000 and 10,000 ft and under 1% above 10,000 ft. Split from west to east into thirds, the western third averages 2,687 ft, the central third 4,086 ft and the eastern third 5,361 ft, so the land is highest in the eastern third and lowest in the western third.

How teachers and students can use these maps

  • Blank map: label Phoenix, the capital, and the largest cities, then check them against the cities map. Older students can draw in rivers or mountain ranges from an atlas.
  • County map: find your own county among the 15. The labeled version works as an answer key; the blank one as a quiz.
  • Cities map: Phoenix to Bullhead City is about 183 miles in a straight line. Measure it with the scale bar and see how close you get.
  • Elevation map: find Mount Humphreys (12,637 ft) and the Colorado River (70 ft), and work out the difference: 12,567 ft. Then use the legend to estimate the elevation of your town and check it with our elevation tool.
  • Printing: each map has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. The PDFs are vector files, so lines and labels stay sharp at any size. The outline maps use very little ink in black and white.
