2018 Map of Picacho Reservoir

About this map

Agricultural development and massive water infrastructure define this region of Pinal County, where the desert landscape meets engineered irrigation systems. The Eloy area serves as a primary hub for local transport, with a grid of rural routes such as E Houser Rd and Cornman Rd connecting the surrounding farmlands. The map reveals the intricate path of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct as it cuts across the terrain, a vital modern artery for water distribution alongside the Central Main Canal. To the southeast, the elevation rises sharply into the Picacho Mountains, providing a stark contrast to the flat valley floor. Natural drainage features like Brady Wash and McClellan Wash weave through the landscape, illustrating the seasonal water patterns of the Sonoran Desert before they reach the managed canal systems.
