The database includes locations, and can be queried online via
.
It says Maine, AZ, is in Coconino County at 35 15 11 (degrees,
minutes, seconds) north latitude, 111 56 16 west longitude,
elevation 7,085 feet. The results page links to several map
servers. The census bureau's Tiger Map Server puts that location
on the highway between Flagstaff and Williams, by the northwest
corner of a military area. The USGS Terraserver shows Maine about
1/4 mile south of the highway, on the other side of the railroad;
it seems to have about three streets altogether.
