2014 Map of Cordes Junction

About this map

Arcosanti, the experimental architectural project and prototype town, stands near the banks of the Agua Fria River in this modern survey. The map details the residential expansion of Cordes Lakes, where a dense network of suburban streets like E Conestoga Dr and E Aztec Trl meets the high desert terrain. North of the major interchange at Cordes Junction, the landscape transitions into the protected lands of the Prescott National Forest. Significant watercourses, including Big Bug Cr and Ash Cr, carve through the mesas and gulches, illustrating the complex drainage systems of the Central Arizona Highlands. The survey further documents the higher elevations of Sycamore Mesa and Perry Mesa, providing a clear picture of the geographic boundaries between settled communities and preserved natural wilderness.
