2018 Map of Valencia

About this map

The White Tank Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Maricopa County area, where desert terrain meets the expanding residential grid of Buckeye. The map documents a critical intersection of natural drainage and human engineering, featuring prominent desert waterways like Tractor Wash and Bulldozer Wash alongside the infrastructure that made regional agriculture possible. Central to this landscape is the Roosevelt Irrigation District Canal and the Buckeye Canal, which cut horizontally across the quadrangle to define the limits of early 21st-century development. In the southern portion of the sheet, the settlement of Valencia is visible, while the Louis B Hazelton Memorial Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogists and local historians. The transition from the steep contours of the mountains to the precisely gridded street network reflects the modern growth patterns of the Phoenix metropolitan fringe.
