2011 Map of New River SE

About this map

Apache Peak rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of desert washes and modern suburban expansion in Maricopa County. This 2011 survey documents the residential development pushing northward, with planned streets like N Anthem Way and Meridian Dr meeting the natural drainages of Skunk Creek and Deadman Wash. The map reveals the tension between historical land use and recent growth, where old resource markers like Bentley Mine Rd and numerous water catchments, such as Purcell Tank and Desert Lake Tank, sit adjacent to new thoroughfares like the E Sonoran Pkwy. The eastern portion remains less developed, dominated by the wide corridor of Apache Wash and the preserved lands of Cave Creek Park, while the rugged northern heights are punctuated by named points like Gunsight and Apache Spring.
