2011 Map of Indian Butte

About this map

Indian Butte and the northern reaches of the Table Top Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Pinal County. The terrain is defined by wide desert flats cut by ephemeral drainage channels, contrasting with the prominent elevation of Needle Peak to the southeast. While the southern portion of the map remains largely undeveloped, the northern edge reveals a regular grid of rural roads and residential lots. This emerging road network includes thoroughfares such as S John Wayne Pkwy, S Maricopa Rd, and Fresno Rd. The naming conventions for these residential streets, including Durazno Rd and Cerezo Rd, suggest a planned expansion into the desert. This survey provides a precise record of the transition between the wild mountain terrain and the encroaching grid of the Maricopa area.
