2021 Map of Florence SE

About this map

The Gila River corridor southeast of Florence reveals a landscape defined by industrial-scale water management and historical institutional presence. This modern survey illustrates the massive engineering of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, which cuts diagonally across the desert floor toward the Florence townsite. The southern portion of the map centers on significant local landmarks, including the Central Arizona College Florence Center and the Arizona State Prison Cem, a site of particular interest for genealogists and regional historians. Natural features like Picture Rocks and China Wash contrast with the grid of local thoroughfares such as E Florence-Kelvin Hwy and E Old Florence-Kelvin Hwy. The topography transitions from the river's lowlands into the rising slopes of the surrounding ranges, marked by the intersection of numerous desert roads like E Diversion Dam Rd.
