About this map

Litchfield Park and the surrounding west valley communities are presented during a period of significant suburban expansion in this 2011 survey. The map details the complex residential networks of Avondale, Goodyear, and Tolleson, revealing how master-planned neighborhoods like Villa de Paz and Winnwood Homes have filled the landscape between the historical agricultural corridors. A critical geographic landmark, the Initial Point, is located near Monument Hill at the confluence where the Gila River meets the Salt River, marking the foundational reference for Arizona's land surveys.

Institutional footprints are prominent, including the Phoenix Goodyear Airport and several local post offices that anchor these growing hubs. The irrigation and drainage patterns of the Salt River Valley remain visible through the path of the Aqua Fria River, which cuts through the grid of suburban streets and arterial roads like W McDowell Rd. Local history is preserved in the locations of Litchfield Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery, serving as fixed points amidst the changing residential developments of Liberty Village and Sheffield Place.
