About this map

Arcosanti, the experimental architectural project, sits on the edge of the Agua Fria River canyon, providing a distinct contrast to the more conventional residential expansion of Cordes Lakes to the south. This 2012 survey captures the high-desert landscape as it transitions from historic ranching properties to a modern transportation and residential hub. The intricate street network of Cordes Lakes, with names like E Stagecoach Trl and E Conestoga Dr, reflects a suburban pattern built into the natural drainage systems of Big Bug Cr.

Beyond the residential core, the map details established landholdings such as Burmister Ranch and Horseshoe Ranch, markers of the area's rural roots. The topography is defined by significant watercourses and canyons, including Sycamore Cr and Indian Cr, while landmarks like the Arizona Highway Maintenance Yard at the Cordes Junction Interchange emphasize the area's role as a critical junction for travelers in Yavapai County.
