About this map

South Mountains dominate this landscape, forming a dramatic natural barrier between the expanding residential corridors of Phoenix and the tribal lands to the south. This 2018 survey details the intricate trail network winding through the peaks, including the National Trail, and landmarks such as Mt Suappoa and the Chinese Wall. The contrast between high-density suburban development and protected land is stark, particularly near the Hangar Haciendas Airport and the neighborhood of La Montana del Sur.

Water management infrastructure, vital to this arid region, is clearly mapped via the Highline Canal and Western Canal, which define the northern edge of the foothills. Researchers can trace the intersection of historical geographic boundaries, such as the Gila Range and the Ma Ha Tuak Range, alongside modern residential streets. In the south, the settlement of Lone Butte marks a transition into the more open terrain near the Gila Drain Rd.
