About this map

Liberty Cemetery sits near the northern edge of this landscape, marking a legacy of early settlement just south of the Gila River. The terrain is defined by the braided drainage systems of Lum Wash and Corgett Wash, which cut across a mix of traditional agricultural grids and modern suburban development. While much of the western portion maintains a rigid section-line road network with names like S Tuthill Rd and S Rainbow Valley Rd, the eastern section shows the curving, planned streets of a growing residential community near S Estrella Pkwy. This juxtaposition illustrates the transition of the Arizona desert from rural farming and ranching roots to contemporary urbanization. Infrastructure supporting this growth is evident at the Rainbow Valley Water Reclamation Facility, while smaller residential arteries such as W San Gabriel Dr and S San Miguel Dr indicate the specific reach of early twenty-first-century housing expansion.
