2014 Map of Avondale SE

About this map

The Sierra Estrella mountain range dominates this 2014 landscape, marking a sharp topographic transition southwest of the expanding Phoenix metropolitan area. Along the northern edge, the Gila River winds through the desert floor, passing the settlement of Maricopa Colony. This region illustrates the intersection of traditional land use and modern suburban encroachment, with precisely surveyed section lines of t1s r1w and t1s r1e meeting at the foothills. The presence of Corgett Wash and several named desert roads, such as Avenida Estrella and Dust Devil Rd, highlights the drainage patterns and transportation network serving the outlying communities of Rainbow Valley. The map detail captures a specific moment of rural character before further development altered the desert fringes of Maricopa County.
