About this map

Agricultural development and desert mining define this landscape where the Hassayampa River joins the Gila River. The irrigation infrastructure of the Buckeye Valley is on full display, with the Buckeye Canal and Arlington Canal drawing water to support settlements like Hassayampa, Palo Verde, and Dixie. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Buckeye Hills, a stark contrast to the floodplains protected by the Gila Levee and Buckeye Levee.

Industrial and conservation interests intersect near the Robbins Butte State Game Management Unit, while the southern reaches of the map show evidence of mineral exploration with several Shafts and the Good Earth Mine. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor and roads like Salome Road provide the primary transit links through this rural corridor, which also features a local Cemetery and the Powers Butte Farms.
