2021 Map of Smurr

About this map

Williams Auxiliary Airfield 6 and the settlement of Smurr anchor this high-desert landscape in central Arizona. The area is defined by its complex irrigation and water management systems, including the Gila Bend Canal, Citrus Ditch, and the flow of the Gila River near the prominent Point of Rocks. This network of canals and ditches highlights the region's agricultural reliance on redirected water in an arid environment, a theme reinforced by local road names like Watermelon Rd and S Potatoe Rd. The presence of the airfield indicates the strategic importance of this open terrain for aviation and training. To the south, the natural topography is marked by the seasonal drainage of Sauceda Wash, which cuts across the land near the Gila Bend area, while human development is traced through the grid of Citrus Valley Rd and other local thoroughfares.
