2018 Map of Florence SE

About this map

Florence serves as the focal point of this desert landscape, where the managed waters of the Gila River meet modern infrastructure in Pinal County. The map clearly illustrates the extensive path of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, which cuts diagonally across the terrain, a vital artery for water distribution in the arid West. The topography transitions from the alluvial plains around the town to the distinct formations of Picture Rocks in the southeast. A complex network of rural and industrial roads, such as E Diversion Dam Rd and Pinal Pioneer Pkwy, highlights the area's development. Local history is etched into the landscape through features like China Wash and the traditional routes of the E Florence-Kelvin Hwy, showing how the community has organized itself around both natural washes and large-scale engineering projects.
