2021 Map of Sentinel NE

About this map

The southern Maricopa County desert near Tartron is defined by the sharp rise of the Painted Rock Mountains against the surrounding basin. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse landscape where human presence is concentrated along the east-west corridor of Interstate 8, which bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from flat valley floors to the complex, contour-heavy ridges of the mountains in the northeast, reflecting a typical Basin and Range topography. While modern infrastructure is limited primarily to this highway transit route, the map reveals the precise Public Land Survey System boundaries, including t5s r8w, t5s r7w, t6s r8w, and t6s r7w, which provide essential reference points for land ownership and historical property research in this arid region.
