About this map

The White Tank Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Maricopa County area, with alluvial desert features like Tractor Wash and Bulldozer Wash cutting through the terrain. The expanding suburban and agricultural footprint of Buckeye and Valencia is evident across the southern half of the map, defined by a rigid grid of roads such as W McDowell Rd and W Yuma Rd.

Critical water management systems support this desert environment, including the Buckeye Canal and the extensive works of the Roosevelt Irrigation District CSR. Genealogists and local historians can find the Louis B Hazelton Memorial Cem situated near the intersection of Broadway and Watson Road. The map documents a transition from the rugged slopes of the mountains to the intensive irrigation and residential development characterizing the Salt River Valley's western reaches.
