2021 Map of Lone Butte

About this map

The southern limits of Phoenix are defined by the prominent peaks of the South Mountains in this 2021 survey. This landscape is a complex intersection of desert ridges and modern expansion, where the Ma Ha Tuak Range and Guadalupe Range dominate the central terrain. Historic water management infrastructure like the Western Canal and Highline Canal skirt the northern slopes, highlighting the engineering required to support desert habitation. To the south, the settlement of Lone Butte marks the transition into flatter lands near the Gila Range. The map reveals a dense network of recreational paths such as the National Trl and Desert Classic Trl, which navigate notable geological landmarks like Wonder Rift and the Chinese Wall. The presence of the Hangar Haciendas Airport further illustrates the varied land use on the city's periphery.
