2011 Map of Cotton Center NW

About this map

The Gila River meanders through the arid terrain of Maricopa County, defining the western portion of this 2011 survey. Centered on the Little Rainbow Valley, the landscape reflects a transition from riverine hydrology to the organized grid of desert agriculture and institutional infrastructure. To the south, Enterprise Ranch sits near the river banks, while the presence of Lewis Prison Rd indicates the state's modern footprint in the region. Local hydrology is marked by sparse water sources like Web Water, Round Tank, and the uniquely named Hog Hole. The road network is anchored by Old US Hwy 80, which angles across the valley, connecting this stretch of desert to the broader transportation corridors between Buckeye and Gila Bend.
