2018 Map of Black Butte

About this map

Black Butte and the surrounding Vulture Mountains dominate the northeastern corner of this Maricopa County landscape. The terrain transitions from these high peaks into the broad expanse of the Hassayampa Plain to the south. This desert environment is defined by a drainage network of ephemeral waterways, including the prominent Jackrabbit Wash and Dead Horse Wash, which carve through the arid flats. Transportation is limited to a handful of utilitarian routes such as Aguila Rd and W Microwave Station Rd, illustrating the low-density development of the region. Isolated water resources like Rock Holes Tank highlight the necessity of managed water points in this environment. The map provides a clear record of the public land survey system, with township and range lines like t6n r8w and t5n r7w delineating the landscape.
