2021 Map of New River
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Indian Mesa and Wild Burro Mesa rise above the drainage of the Agua Fria River, marking a transition from the Sonoran desert floor to the rugged uplands north of Phoenix. This 2021 survey shows the sprawling residential expansion of Peoria and Phoenix pushing into the desert foothills, where newer roads like W Arroyo Norte Dr meet established ranching and utility corridors. The map records a complex landscape of water management and natural resources, featuring Lake Pleasant in the southwest and the winding New River to the east. Hikers and researchers can trace the historical Black Canyon Trl as it weaves through the terrain, passing landmarks such as Doe Peak and Whiskey Spring. Significant infrastructure, including the N El Paso Gas Pipeline Rd, cuts across the northern reaches near Boulder Creek Ranch, illustrating the intersection of modern utility and traditional land use.
