Arizona, in the southwestern region of the United States, is one of the country's most important states. The Arizona River Map
The Colorado river gets its water primarily from two streams, the Green and the Grand. The Green River begins in the Rocky Mountains while the Grand originates in Wyoming. The Gila River which meanders for 650 miles, is the largest tributary of the Colorado River, and is depicted on the Arizona River Map.
The Salt River, with its source in the White Mountains, is a tributary of the Gila. The confluence of the Salt and the Gila is 30 miles below the city of Phoenix. The region 100 miles above Phoenix is salty, hence the name Salt River. The Verde River is the longest northern tributary of the Salt River. The Salt's other northern tributaries are the Tonto, the Aqua Frio, the Cherry, and the Sipique. The 100 mile long San Pedro is another tributary of the Gila and joins it at Camp Grant. The Santa Cruz River, which is about 150 miles long, originates in the Patagunia Mountains and joins the Gila River below the Maricopa Wells. The other important rivers of Arizona, as shown in the map, are San Carlos, San Simon, San Francisco, Bill Williams, Virgin, Little Colorado, and Paria.
Arizona bodies of water also include a number of lakes, such as Lake Mead, Theodore Roosevelt Lake, Lake Havasu, and Alamo Lake.
