SIGN OF THE CROSS Southeast corner of West Clayton Road and Midway Road
If you ever take an aerial trip over Maricopa — or even scroll around the area on Google Maps — you may have noticed some flat, Maltese crosses strewn across the landscape. These crosses are part of the Casa Grande Photogrammetric Test Range, according to schematics by scientist David D. Byars of the defunct U.S. Defense Mapping Agency in 1975. The test range was established in the 1960s and used by the U.S. Air Force and NASA to test and calibrate cameras, some of which went on to be used in the Earth Resources Technology Satellites. Aerial film, laser altimeters, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and camera systems were also tested, using this giant grid of ground-level crosses to calibrate.

ROCKY ROAD South of 53538 W. Robin Road
Do you want to leave the pavement behind and test the suspension on your truck or bike? The Stanfield and Maricopa trail is great for hiking, horseback riding and off-roading. This is a 4.7-mile loop trail with 291 feet of elevation gain. The trail features plenty of elegant Saguaro cacti that tower over the brushy desert foliage. It’s a rocky road, so if you come in a vehicle, be prepared for bumps and uneven ground. If you want to hike or offroad the trail, make sure you are prepared. The Arizona State Land Department requires a State Trust Land permit to enter. To obtain a permit, you can visit Land. AZ.gov or the Arizona State Land Department offices in Phoenix.
