2011 Map of Tempe

About this map

Arizona State University Tempe Campus serves as a central anchor for this urbanized desert landscape, where the Salt River channel divides the expanding residential reaches of Tempe and Scottsdale. The map captures a sophisticated network of water management and recreation, from the historic Arizona Canal and Arizona Falls Power House to a high density of golf courses like Karsten Golf Course and Papago Golf Course. Geological landmarks such as the Papago Buttes and Hole in the Rock remain preserved amidst the sprawl of neighborhood subdivisions like McClintock Manor and Minnesota Court. For local historians, the sheet is particularly dense with burial sites, including the Saint Francis Cemetery and the Maricopa County Cemetery, alongside unique cultural markers like the Water Users Yaqui Camp.
