2014 Map of Sentinel

About this map

Sentinel occupies a central position along the northern transit corridor of this Maricopa County landscape, where the vast desert terrain is defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of t6s r9w and t7s r9w. The settlement’s proximity to major infrastructure is clear, as it sits just south of a principal roadway and the intersection of S Agua Caliente Rd. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the spare, open nature of the region, where wide-spaced elevation contours reveal the gentle undulations of the southwestern topography. Beyond the small concentration of activity at Sentinel, the map is dominated by the geometric boundaries of western land divisions, including t8s r9w, providing a clear record of land management and transportation patterns in this part of Arizona.
