1957 Map of Avondale SE

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Sierra Estrella dominates this desert landscape, where steep ridgelines meet the wide expanse of the Rainbow Valley. To the northeast, the Phoenix International Raceway stands as a modern landmark near the edge of the Gila River Indian Reservation Boundary. The survey illustrates a terrain defined by drainage patterns like Corgett Wash and a network of Jeep Trails that suggest early recreational and industrial access. Local history interest is found in the scattered Mines tucked into the mountain foothills and the alignment of the Gila and Salt River Meridian, which serves as a foundational surveying line for the entire region. The northern section is further protected by the Estrella Mountain Regional Park, preserving the character of the Arizona desert as it appeared during the mid-twentieth century.
