2014 Map of Buckeye

About this map

Buckeye and the nearby settlement of Allenville sit within the fertile Buckeye Valley, a landscape defined by the complex water management systems of the Salt River Valley's western edge. The Gila River meanders across the center of the map, flanked by vital irrigation works including the Buckeye Canal, Arlington Canal, and S Extension Canal. These man-made waterways emphasize the transition from the organized agricultural grid of the valley floor to the desert terrain of the Buckeye Hills. To the south, the elevation rises toward Eagle Mtn, providing a natural barrier between the central valley and the expansive reaches of Rainbow Valley and Little Rainbow Valley. The presence of Pierce Airport near the northern border reflects the region's long-standing connection to local aviation and transportation networks.
