About this map

The Yellow Medicine Hills rise prominently in the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by arid drainages and sparse settlements. Near the base of these heights lies Gillespie, while the smaller site of Crag is situated to the northeast. The land is carved by the broad Centennial Wash, which trends across the central section of the quadrangle, joined further north by Winters Wash.

Infrastructure is concentrated along specific corridors, most notably W Agua Caliente Rd as it skirts the southern hills. Local landmarks such as Black Butte and the man-made Petterson Tank provide essential navigational markers for this part of Maricopa County. The northwest corner is distinguished by Mullens Cut, a notable terrain feature that breaks the desert floor near the intersection of several section-line roads.
