2011 Map of Enid

About this map

Waterman Wash carves through this desert landscape south of Goodyear, defining the drainage patterns of an area marked by both traditional ranching and modern aviation. The small settlement of Enid and nearby Heaton sit along the east-west rail line, serving as historic points of reference in a terrain characterized by the rising Palo Verde Mountains. The region’s development is signaled by an unusual density of private aviation facilities, ranging from the Estrella Sailport in the north to the Hidden Valley Airstrip, Millar Airport, and Boulais Ranch Airport. This distribution suggests a landscape where vast open spaces and favorable conditions supported a specialized airborne community alongside more traditional agricultural outposts like Wiley Ranch. The geometric grid of roads, such as W Kinney Rd and N Hidden Valley Rd, illustrates the systematic expansion of land use into the arid interior of Maricopa County.
