2011 Map of Saddle Mountain

About this map

Saddle Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Maricopa County desert region, serving as a primary navigational landmark for the surrounding arid plains. The terrain is defined by a grid of numbered avenues and named corridors such as W Salome Hwy and El Paso Natural Gas Rd, which cut through the open desert scrub. Water management and transit in this environment are marked by features like Burger Well and the braided courses of Delaney Wash and Centennial Wash. Human activity is concentrated around scattered infrastructure, notably the Mauldin Airstrip in the northeast and the Saddle Mountain Trl, which provides access to the higher elevations. This 2011 survey illustrates the intersection of industrial utility and natural landforms in the Arizona desert, where local roads often follow property lines and utility easements across the basin floor.
