About this map

Forepaugh Peak and Sevenmile Peak rise above the high desert floor of Maricopa County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and isolated summits. The settlement of Forepaugh sits near the intersection of W Cattle Drive Rd and Forpaugh Rd, serving as a focal point for a network of rural roads such as W J-1 Ranch Rd and W Abbot Rd.

Water management is the primary marker of human activity across this arid terrain, with numerous man-made catchments like Joanette Tank, Hultman Tank, and Daniels Tank scattered throughout the sections. The southern portion of the map is crossed by the ephemeral Grass Wash, while the central region is dominated by the distinct elevation of Campbell Hill. The surveying lines of t7n r8w and surrounding townships reveal a systematic division of the land typical of the American West.
