2011 Map of Weldon Hill

About this map

Weldon Hill serves as a central landmark in this arid stretch of Maricopa County, positioned between the Harquahala Mountains to the northwest and the Big Horn Mountains to the northeast. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage system of Tiger Wash, which runs vertically across the terrain, joined by smaller features like Blue Tank Canyon. Infrastructure in this sparsely populated area is limited to desert routes such as Eagle Eye Rd and the Buckeye-Salome Rd in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of Desert Tank highlights the vital importance of water management in this desert environment. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century when the region remained largely undeveloped, characterized by wide alluvial washes and significant mountain ranges.
