2014 Map of Woolsey Peak

About this map

Woolsey Peak stands as the prominent centerpiece of this southwestern Arizona landscape, part of the extensive Gila Bend Mountains. The area is defined by a series of significant volcanic and metamorphic landmarks, including Signal Mtn and Black Butte, which rise sharply above the desert floor. The drainage patterns of the region are dominated by Woolsey Wash, which meanders through the central and western portions of the quadrangle. A rare water source, Woolsey Spring, is located near the peak that bears its name, providing a vital point of interest in this arid environment. The map also captures the settlement at Harqua in the northwest, offering a detailed view of the survey lines and section boundaries that define the public land system in Maricopa County during the early twenty-first century.
