2021 Map of Big Horn Peak

About this map

Big Horn Peak rises as the dominant landmark within the Big Horn Mountains in this modern topographical survey of Maricopa County. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between these high peaks and the broad expanse of the Harquahala Plain to the south. Cutting across this desert terrain is the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, a massive engineering feat that recontoured the area to support regional water needs. Below the mountains, the valley floor is strictly partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the grid of section lines and range markers such as t3n r9w. A network of thoroughfares including Salome Rd and W Harquahala Valley Rd connects the open sections, following the established section boundaries that define the agricultural and residential potential of the plain.
