2011 Map of Franconia

About this map

The settlement of Franconia sits along a major transportation corridor in the arid basin of Mohave County, where modern infrastructure meets the stark geography of the Mohave Mountains. The local landscape is defined by the expansive Sacramento Wash, which cuts across the terrain north of the Interstate. While the northern portion of the map is largely open desert, the southern area reveals the planned residential grid of Havasu Heights, featuring a network of local roads including Havasu Heights Rd and Sierra Vista Dr. For genealogists and local historians, the Franconia Cemetery serves as a primary landmark for the early community, situated just north of the primary transit line. The contrast between the sparse, desert-spanning reach of Jub Rd and the concentrated residential development at Coronado Rd illustrates the evolving land use in this part of the Arizona desert during the early 21st century.
