About this map

Monument Hill stands as a focal point in this 2021 landscape where the Gila River and Salt River converge. This survey documents the modern suburban expansion of the West Valley, showing the dense residential grids of Tolleson, Avondale, and Goodyear as they press against traditional agricultural and industrial corridors. The presence of the Initial Point near the river confluence marks the fundamental surveying origin for much of Arizona's land divisions.

Water management remains central to the region's identity, evidenced by the Roosevelt Canal, Buckeye Canal, and Saint Johns Canal which traverse the Buckeye Valley. Local history is preserved at the Goodyear Farms Historic Cem, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Phoenix Goodyear Airport and educational hubs like Estrella Mountain Community College. This map captures a moment of intense transition from the area's farming roots to its current status as a major metropolitan corridor.
