About this map

The Sacaton Mountains rise sharply in the northern portion of this quadrangle, looking down upon the industrial and agricultural landscape that defines the outskirts of Casa Grande. Evidence of the region’s mineral wealth is prominent near the center of the sheet, marked by an Open Pit Mine surrounded by extensive Mine Tailings and multiple Mine Dump sites. These heavy industrial operations sit in contrast to the growing residential and recreational developments to the south, including the Francisco Grande area and its Golf Course.

Transportation and infrastructure are central to the region's layout, with the Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and the Cowtown Road slicing diagonally through the desert terrain. The drainage of the Santa Cruz Wash and its North Branch provides a natural framework for the land, while the Gila River Indian Reservation boundary defines the northern limits. Cultural landmarks like the Mormon Battalion Historical Monument and the Casa Grande Municipal Airport illustrate the layered history of Pinal County.
