1996 Map of Newman Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The Picacho Mountains rise sharply above the desert floor, dominated by the towering heights of Newman Peak and Picacho Peak. This arid landscape is defined by the massive water infrastructure required for regional growth, specifically the massive Central Arizona Project Aqueduct and the Main Canal that cut across the valley floor. Near the junction of major transit corridors, the community of Picacho sits adjacent to the Picacho Peak State Park, where a dedicated Picnic Area and Mobile Home Park signify the area's role as a waypoint for travelers. Aviation history is noted by the Picacho Stagefield Control Tower (Heliport), while the numerous Borrow Pits scattered near the Picacho Peak Interchange reflect the intensive earth-moving required for modern highway and canal construction. Drainage patterns are governed by McClellan Wash, which carries seasonal runoff through the alluvial plains below the peaks.
