2014 Map of Governors Peak

About this map

Casa Rosa sits amidst the desert landscape of Maricopa County, highlighting a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of this arid region. This mapping from the U.S. Geological Survey captures the area as it appeared in the early 21st century, focusing on the essential water sources that dictate local geography, such as Alkali Spring. The layout provides a clear view of how terrain and limited water features influence habitation and land use in this part of Arizona. By documenting these specific named locations, the survey serves as a precise reference for the physical and human geography of the Governors Peak quadrangle.
