2014 Map of Margies Peak

About this map

Maricopa Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape southwest of Buckeye, where topographic detail reveals the intricate ridges and drainage patterns of the Margies Cove wilderness area. Named peaks like Margies Peak and Sheep Mtn rise sharply from the basin floor, surrounded by a network of seasonal water sources such as Hazen Tank and the CCC tank. The north-central portion of the map transitions into the Little Rainbow Valley, showing the intersection of Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM-8000 with the emerging grid of the regional road network including W Ocotillo Rd and W Riggs Rd. The cartography captures a transition zone between the protected mountain wilderness and the developing rural edges of the Phoenix metropolitan fringe.
