2021 Map of Mesa

About this map

The Salt River and its accompanying irrigation infrastructure, including the Southern Canal and Consolidated Canal, define the geographic and historical development of this Maricopa County landscape. In the early 2020s, the area reflects a dense suburban expansion through Mesa and its numerous residential developments such as Rancho de Arboleda, Meadowvale, and Fuller Ranch. The map captures the cultural and educational footprints of the city, from Mesa Community College and the Mesa School of Allied Health at Arizona College to spiritual and memorial landmarks like the City Of Mesa Cem and Queen of Heaven Cem. Traces of the region's ancient history are acknowledged through the naming of Hohokam Village, while more recent agricultural roots are visible in the settlement of Lehi and the sprawling network of roads like Beeline Hwy and E McKellips Rd that connect these desert communities.
