2014 Map of Hedgpeth Hills

About this map

The Hedgpeth Hills and neighboring Deem Hills define the northern desert landscape of the Salt River Valley as suburban development pushes into the mountain shadows. This 2014 survey records the expansion of Phoenix, Peoria, and Glendale at a time when residential subdivisions like Suncrest Villas West and Peacock Village were filling in formerly open spaces near the New River. The infrastructure of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct is visible cutting through Weir Valley, a critical lifeline for this arid region. Significant educational and topographic landmarks are documented throughout, from Midwestern Univ in the south to the prominent peaks of West Wing Mtn and East Wing Mtn in the north, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Sonoran Desert and the modern metropolitan sprawl.
