About this map

Maricopa Village and the surrounding agricultural landscapes define this portion of the Salt River Valley southwest of Phoenix. The map illustrates a transition from residential developments in Laveen to the tribal lands of the Gila River Indian Community. The influence of water management on the arid terrain is evident through the winding path of the Gila River and the engineered routes of the Hoover Ditch.

Community life is anchored by traditional centers such as Saint Johns Mission and Gila Crossing, while local history is preserved at the Maricopa Cemetery and Co-op Village Cemetery. The landscape is further punctuated by geological features like Maricopa Peak and the drainage of the Santa Cruz Wash. Transportation and local infrastructure are represented by the Laveen Post Office and the specialized Hangar Haciendas Airport, reflecting the diverse land use of this Arizona desert region.
