2018 Map of Citrus Valley East

About this map

Gila River flows through the southern portion of this desert landscape, its course flanked by the agricultural infrastructure of the Citrus Valley. This region, situated near the Gila Bend Mountains, showcases the critical relationship between water management and cultivation in the arid environment. The presence of the Citrus Ditch running parallel to the river suggests a sophisticated network for irrigation that sustains the valley's namesake industries. Local transit is defined by a grid of rural routes including Citrus Valley Rd and 355th Ave, which provide access to the parcelled lands. The map illustrates a transitional zone where the steep, topographic complexity of the northern ranges gives way to the structured, low-lying alluvial plains of the river valley.
