2018 Map of Cortez Peak NW

About this map

The Harquahala Plain serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in western Maricopa County, characterized by a meticulous grid of rural roads and irrigation-driven land divisions. This 2018 survey illustrates a transition from desert floor to organized agricultural potential, with the corridor for an El Paso Natural Gas pipeline cutting diagonally across the terrain near W Lower Buckeye Rd. The drainage of Centennial Wash provides a natural break in the man-made geometry of the valley. Local aviation is represented by the Eagletail Ranch Airport, situated south of W Broadway Rd. Long east-west thoroughfares like Indian School Rd, W Van Buren St, and W Baseline Rd anchor the survey, reflecting the early 21st-century infrastructure of the Harquahala Valley Rd region.
