2023 Map of Lone Butte

About this map

Phoenix S Mtn Park dominates this modern topographical landscape, preserving a massive desert mountain environment amidst the expansion of southern Phoenix. The terrain is characterized by complex geological features including the South Mountains, Mt Suappoa, and the Guadalupe Range. The map illustrates the contrast between the protected wilderness of Chinese Wall and Eagle Pass and the encroaching residential developments of La Montana del Sur. Significant water infrastructure is visible through the Highline Canal and Western Canal, which have historically facilitated growth in this arid region. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Gila River Indian Community, anchored by the isolated landmark of Lone Butte and the Gila Range, marking a distinct shift from suburban grid patterns to more open, managed lands.
