2014 Map of Magma

About this map

Florence and the community of Magma occupy a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and modern hydraulic engineering. The massive Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a diagonal path through the western half of the map, representing a significant infrastructure development in the arid Gila River Valley. This man-made waterway contrasts sharply with the ephemeral, braided patterns of Queen Cr, Magma Wash, and Cottonwood Cr, which define the natural flow of the region. The map reveals a transitioning desert environment where agricultural roots and open land are increasingly intersected by residential street grids, such as the developments along E Desert Mountain Blvd and E Victor Way. Established rural corridors like N Attaway Rd and N Felix Rd remain central to the local transportation network, anchoring the area's ongoing expansion.
