2014 Map of Fort McDowell

About this map

The Verde River serves as the central artery for this region of the Sonoran Desert, flanked by the sprawling lands of the Tonto National Forest. In the northern half, the community of Rio Verde is established along the river's western banks, while the southern reaches of the map show the organized street grids of Fountain Hills beginning to transition into the higher elevations. The settlement of Fort McDowell marks a historic crossing point where Sycamore Creek meets the main river channel, a location further defined by irrigation features like the Jones Ditch.
