2021 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

Falcon Field and the surrounding suburban developments of eastern Mesa anchor this modern landscape at the edge of the Salt River Valley. The map illustrates an intricate network of residential enclaves and retirement communities, including Dreamland Villa, Leisure World, and Venture Out, which are interwoven with the irrigation and water transport infrastructure of the Southern Canal and the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct. To the northeast, the desert terrain rises toward the Usery Mountains and the boundary of the Tonto National Forest, where landmarks like Spook Hill and Stone Mountain stand in contrast to the dense residential grid. This survey captures the specialized land use of the region, from the educational hub at Mesa Community College Red Mountain Campus to the namesake settlement of Buckhorn.
