2014 Map of Florence SE

About this map

Florence serves as the focal point for this desert landscape, situated south of the life-giving Gila River. The map illustrates a transitional desert environment where traditional watercourses like China Wash exist alongside modern infrastructure, notably the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct which cuts diagonally across the terrain. This combination of natural river systems and large-scale engineering highlights the region's historical and ongoing reliance on water management for settlement and agriculture.
