About this map

McMicken Dam and the expansive Trilby Wash Basin dominate this landscape in Maricopa County, illustrating the critical infrastructure designed to manage desert water flow. The settlement of Beardsley sits at the intersection of suburban expansion and industrial utility, with dense residential street grids like W Bell Rd and W Reems Rd pushing north toward the flood control structures.

Further north, the character of the land shifts toward more rural and recreation-oriented uses, featuring the Bard Ranch and Phoenix Raceway Park. Notable geographical features like Bunker Peak and Lake Bonita provide distinct landmarks among the numerous desert drainage systems, including Picacho Wash and Padeliford Wash. The map also documents local infrastructure such as a Landfill and the Beardsley CSR, providing a detailed look at the region's development in the early 21st century.
