2018 Map of Apache Junction

About this map

Apache Junction and the eastern edge of Mesa define this 2018 landscape, where suburban expansion meets the desert mountains of the Tonto National Forest. The map documents a highly developed grid of residential streets and mobile home parks that transition into the protected slopes of the Usery Mountains and the Goldfield Mountains. A critical piece of modern infrastructure, the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, cuts across the terrain, illustrating the engineering required to sustain these desert communities. The area is marked by several distinct peaks and ridges including Signal Butte, Pass Mtn, and Saddle Rock. Local education and recreation are anchored by the Central Arizona College - Superstition Mtn Campus and the extensive trail systems within Usery Mountain Park, while drainage features like Weekes Wash and Bulldog Wash manage seasonal runoff through the developed corridor.
