2014 Map of Malpais Hill

About this map

Malpais Hill stands as a prominent volcanic landmark within this arid section of Maricopa County. The 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, particularly in the south where the Crater Range dominates the terrain. This area is characterized by desert drainage patterns, most notably Midway Wash, which cuts across the northern townships. The grid-like Public Land Survey System divisions, including sections of t8s r8w and t9s r8w, underscore the vast, open nature of this Arizona desert territory, where human presence is marked primarily by sparse 4WD tracks and local connectors rather than established settlements.
