2014 Map of Lost Horse Peak

About this map

Freeman sits at the northern edge of this arid Sonoran landscape, positioned along a major east-west transportation corridor that bisects the desert terrain. To the south, the topography rises into the White Hills and reaches a prominent point at Lost Horse Peak. The map documents a critical water management system necessary for life and travel in this environment, featuring named reservoirs such as Lost Horse Tank, Ormall Tank, and White Tank. These features, along with the drainage of Vekol Wash on the eastern boundary, highlight the reliance on seasonal water sources in Maricopa County. The intersection of modern infrastructure, represented by S Freeman Rd and S Vekol Rd, with these traditional desert landmarks illustrates the ongoing human presence in this sparsely populated region.
