==Geography== [[File:South Henness Road in Arizona City.jpg|left|thumb|Northerly view towards the Casa Grande Mountains along Henness Road in Arizona City.]] Arizona City is located at {{coord|32|45|6|N|111|40|45|W|type:city}} (32.751641, β111.679283).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref> According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|6.2|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|6.1|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}} (1.29%) is water. The CDP is approximately {{convert|1,509|ft|m}} above [[sea level]] and located in an area of Pinal County known as the [[Santa Cruz River (Arizona)|Santa Cruz]] Flats. According to the [[Arizona Geological Survey]], the valley floor surrounding Arizona City and nearby [[Eloy, Arizona|Eloy]] has lowered by more than {{convert|20|ft|m}} in the past 50 years due to rapid depletion of the groundwater [[aquifer]]s underneath the region. In 2017, a new [[earth fissure]] approximately {{convert|1.8|mi|km}} long and {{convert|30|ft|m}} wide opened up just south of Arizona City, another consequence caused by the rapid consumption of groundwater.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Clinch|first=Tanner|title=New earth fissure discovered south of Arizona City|url=https://www.pinalcentral.com/casa_grande_dispatch/area_news/new-earth-fissure-discovered-south-of-arizona-city/article_5d8cfee6-e323-11e6-9910-27792a0d8ecb.html|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=PinalCentral.com|language=en}}</ref> Arizona City itself is mostly flat, lying in the Santa Cruz Valley in the center of three low mountain ranges; the Sawtooth Mountains to the south, the Picacho Mountains to the east, and the Casa Grande Mountains to the north. [[Picacho Peak State Park|Picacho Peak]], a prominent peak with a summit elevation of {{convert|3,374|ft|m}}, is located approximately {{convert|20|mi|km}} to the southeast adjacent to Interstate 10. Directly to the west of the CDP is the expansive [[Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation]],<ref name=autogenerated1 /> which stretches {{convert|80|mi|km}} south to the [[international border]] with [[Mexico]]. {{Geographic location |Northwest = [[Casa Grande, Arizona|Casa Grande]] |North = Casa Grande |Northeast = [[Eloy, Arizona|Eloy]] |West = [[Chuichu, Arizona|Chuichu]] |Center = Arizona City |South = [[Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation]] |Southwest = Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation |Southeast = Eloy |East = Eloy }}
