2018 Map of Newman Peak

About this map

Newman Peak and the surrounding Picacho Mountains dominate the eastern half of this landscape, rising sharply from the desert floor. The area is defined by its vital water infrastructure and transportation corridors, with the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct and the Central Main Canal cutting through the arid terrain to support local agriculture and industry. To the south, the iconic profile of Picacho Peak stands near the small settlement of Wymola, while the community of Picacho sits adjacent to a major diagonal road network. The map reveals the stark contrast between the natural drainage of McClellan Wash and the rigid, engineered grid of irrigation and transport that enables life in this portion of Pinal County. A corner of Eloy appears in the northwest, showing the beginning of a dense street plan that extends into the irrigated flats.
