2011 Map of Higley

About this map

The town of Higley and its surrounding communities in Maricopa County appear here during a period of significant suburban expansion in the early twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of residential developments and agricultural infrastructure, most notably the Roosevelt Water Canal Rd which speaks to the critical irrigation history of the Salt River Valley. Institutional and industrial landmarks occupy large footprints, including the Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus and the Williams Gateway Airport, reflecting the repurposing of former military land. Smaller settlements like Germann, Queen Creek, and Rittenhouse are visible along the southern and eastern margins. The transition from rural desert to high-density housing is evident, punctuated by specialized sites such as the General Motors Proving Grnds and local landmarks like the Higley Post Office and the Boys Ranch Post Office.
