2021 Map of Blue Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Sand Tank Mountains dominate this section of the Arizona desert, where steep elevation changes define the landscape south of the Gila River. The prominent Blue Plateau stands as a central landform, surrounded by distinct topographical markers such as the isolated peak of Round Butte and the curious formation labeled Jack in the Pulpit. The grid of the Public Land Survey System is clearly visible, marking the intersections of Township 6 South through Township 8 South and Ranges 2 West through 4 West. This 2021 update reflects the modern topographical state of this Maricopa County terrain, mapping the complex drainages and ridges that characterize this part of the Sonoran desert before it transitions toward the higher mountain ranges to the south.
