2018 Map of Desert Well

About this map

The expanding suburban footprint of the East Valley is captured in this 2018 survey, centered on the intersection of Mesa, Apache Junction, and Queen Creek. The landscape is a mix of dense residential development and open desert terrain, marked by the prominent line of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cutting across the eastern half of the map. While new roads like E Ray Rd and Williams Field Rd indicate modern growth, the area’s ranching and natural history remain visible through landmarks like Desert Well and the geological formation of Hawk Rock. The seasonal watercourses of Weekes Wash and Siphon Draw drain the land towards the west, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid region where the Maricopa and Pinal County line splits the territory.
