2018 Map of Midway

About this map

Midway occupies a high-desert landscape in southwestern Maricopa County, characterized by isolated mountain ranges and broad alluvial basins. The terrain is dominated by the jagged peaks of the Sauceda Mountains to the east and the prominent elevation of Lookout Mtn in the north. This 2018 survey reveals a sparse settlement pattern where infrastructure is largely dictated by the arid environment and natural topography. Water management in this dry region is evidenced by features like the Thanksgiving Day Tank, which serves as a vital catchment point. The map illustrates the transition from the relatively flat western reaches of t8s r6w and t9s r6w into the more complex, higher-elevation landforms found further east, providing a clear picture of the desert's physical geography.
