About this map

The White Tank Mountains define the western edge of this suburban and agricultural landscape, where the desert gives way to the expanding residential grids of the West Valley. In the northeast, the city of Surprise shows a dense network of modern street names like W Greenway Rd and W Cactus Rd, while the southern reaches encompass portions of Goodyear, Buckeye, and Litchfield Park. A significant military presence is found at Luke Air Force Base in the southeast quadrant, a major landmark for the region.

Drainage and irrigation patterns are central to this area's development, evidenced by the numerous washes such as Waterfall Wash, Cholla Wash, and the Beardsley Canal Wash. These seasonal waterways cut through the landscape, alongside smaller established communities like Waddell, Fennemore, and Citrus Park. The map also captures a recreational corridor along the mountains, featuring trails like the Mule Deer Trl and Ford Canyon Trl that lead into the high ground from the valley floor.
