2018 Map of White Tank Mountains NE

About this map

The White Tank Mountains define the southern landscape of this Arizona quadrangle, where the desert terrain transitions into the expanding residential grids of Surprise and Buckeye. This 2018 survey captures a critical period of infrastructure development, most notably the path of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct as it cuts diagonally across the township. The map illustrates a high-desert environment shaped by ephemeral water systems like Trilby Wash and Iona Wash, alongside man-made features such as Wagner Tank. The north-central and eastern portions are dominated by an emerging network of numbered avenues and named streets like Beardsley Pkwy and Marco Polo Rd, indicating the rapid suburbanization of the Maricopa County desert. In contrast, the southern reaches remain dominated by the steep contours of the mountains, showcasing the intersection of modern municipal growth and the original Sonoran topography.
