2018 Map of York

About this map

The Gila River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and infrastructure in this desert landscape, anchored by the community of York and the vital junction at Three Way. In the northern section, the Greenlee County Airport sits atop a mesa, illustrating the use of flat topographical plateaus for modern aviation needs. The surrounding terrain is defined by rugged elevation changes, with the Peloncillo Mountains rising to the south and a series of expansive plateaus including Wire Corral Mesa, Democrat Mesa, and Big Mesa dominating the eastern horizon. These landforms are cut by numerous canyons and washes, such as Tollhouse Canyon and Greaser Wash, where seasonal water sources like Gus Spring and Top Ear Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid environment. Roads like the Coronado Trl weave through these valleys, connecting the scattered residential pockets of York Valley to the wider region.
