About this map

Flatiron Mountain and the Belmont Mountains dominate the horizon of this arid landscape in central Arizona, marking the northern reaches of the Tonopah Desert. The most significant modern infrastructure on the sheet is the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, which cuts across the upper half of the quadrangle, carrying water across the Hassayampa Plain.

Ephemeral drainage patterns are clearly defined by a network of desert arroyos, including Star Wash, Jackrabbit Wash, Phillips Wash, and Fourmile Wash. The map documents a grid of local roads and planned avenues such as W Glendale Ave and W Camelback Rd as they extend into the desert, while the primary transit route is N Wickenburg Rd. Small water resources essential for the region, like Jones Tank and South Tank, are noted among the townships.
