2018 Map of Hayden

About this map

The Gila River corridor serves as the industrial and transport anchor for this section of Pinal and Gila counties, where the settlements of Hayden and Hayden Junction are established at the foot of dramatic peaks. The landscape is defined by the massive Dripping Spring Mountains, a range characterized by prominent heights such as Tam O'Shanter Peak, Tornado Peak, and Steamboat Mtn. The orientation of the local infrastructure, including Asarco Dr and Kennecott Ave, reflects the deep-seated mining legacy of the region. North of the river, the terrain transitions into a complex system of drainages, notably Dripping Spring Wash and Steamboat Wash, which carve through deep canyons like Keystone Canyon and O'Carroll Canyon. This 2018 survey captures the intersection of heavy industry and high desert topography, tracing the routes from Haines Flat down to the rail-connected river valley.
