2021 Map of Newman Peak

About this map

Newman Peak and the surrounding Picacho Mountains dominate this Pinal County landscape, rising sharply from the desert floor. The area is defined by the intersection of major water infrastructure and transportation corridors, with the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct and Central Main Canal cutting through the arid terrain. These engineering feats run parallel to established settlements like Eloy and the community of Picacho, which are centered around the thoroughfare of E Camino Adelante Rd. In the south, Picacho Peak stands as a prominent landmark near the smaller siding of Wymola. The map illustrates the stark contrast between the precision of modern irrigation and the natural desert drainage of McClellan Wash, which meanders across the plain between the mountain ranges. A dense grid of rural roads, including E Milligan Rd and Wheeler Rd, reveals the organized agricultural and residential footprint spread across the valley.
