2021 Map of Hassayampa

About this map

Hassayampa River and the Gila River converge in this western portion of the Salt River Valley, defining a landscape of irrigated agriculture and desert ranges. The map shows the intricate network of the Buckeye Canal and Arlington Canal, which have supported the farming settlements of Hassayampa, Palo Verde, and Dixie for over a century. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Palo Verde Baptist Church and the adjacent Palo Verde Baptist Church Cem, standing as long-established landmarks amidst the fields of Buckeye Valley. The terrain shifts abruptly from the flat irrigated bottomlands to the prominent volcanic profiles of Robbins Butte and Powers Butte, while the southern portion is dominated by the steep, rising slopes of the Buckeye Hills. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring importance of historical routes like Old US Hwy 80 in connecting these rural Maricopa County communities.
