2018 Map of Higley

About this map

Higley and Queen Creek are central to this landscape in the eastern reaches of the Salt River Valley, where rapidly expanding residential neighborhoods meet institutional hubs. The map detail highlights a unique cluster of educational and aviation infrastructure, specifically the Arizona State Univ Polytechnic Campus and the adjacent Chandler - Gilbert Community College Williams Campus. These institutions are situated on the grounds of the former Williams Air Force Base, now serving the region as the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. Water management remains a visible priority in the desert environment, evidenced by the Roosevelt Canal and Queen Cr Canal cutting through the grid. The development patterns here illustrate the late 20th and early 21st-century growth of Mesa and Gilbert, transforming what was once primarily agricultural land into a densely networked suburban corridor.
