1967 Map of Ajo
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Gila River valley and its surrounding desert basins define this mid-century portrait of southern Arizona's transition from agricultural river bottoms to vast military training grounds. The Southern Pacific railroad remains the primary infrastructure spine, connecting small outposts like Gila Bend and Tacna while serving as the anchor for the region's early growth. Extensive aviation networks from the Cold War era are prominent, including the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field and a series of numbered remote sites like Luke AF No 11.
