Geography

Littlefield is in the northwest corner of Mohave County (and the state of Arizona), along Interstate 15, with access from Exit 8. It is bordered to the north, across I-15, by the community of Beaver Dam. I-15 leads southwest 10 miles (16 km) to Mesquite, Nevada, and 90 miles (140 km) to Las Vegas, while to the northeast the highway enters the Virgin River Gorge and leads 29 miles (47 km) to St. George, Utah.

Littlefield, Beaver Dam, and Scenic have the distinction of being the only towns in Arizona along I-15. Owing to its location in the Arizona Strip, northwest of Grand Canyon National Park and west of the Virgin River, it is isolated by hundreds of miles from the rest of the state. Travel to other towns within Arizona requires crossing through either Nevada or Utah, or driving on unpaved roads to the rest of Arizona’s road network.
