About this map

The Harquahala Plain defines this desert landscape, where a rigid grid of section lines and irrigation infrastructure meets the seasonal path of Centennial Wash. In this 1990 provisional update, the area's agricultural and rural character is evidenced by the concentration of wells and water management features like the Ditch, Levee, and an extensive Pipeline. Human activity is centered around the Harquahala Valley Sch and local thoroughfares such as Courthouse Road and Harquahala Valley Road. The map records a specific stage of development in Maricopa County, featuring isolated landmarks such as a Corral, Allison Tank, and a Trailer Park. These elements, along with the Landing Strip, suggest a landscape reliant on both traditional ranching and modern utility systems in a flat, arid environment.
