1950 Map of Aztec
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Gila River corridor dominates this desert landscape, revealing a complex history of irrigation and rail transport along the Yuma Co Maricopa Co line. Water management is a primary theme of the era, seen in the traces of the South Bend Canal (Abandoned) and Gila Bend Canal (Abandoned), which suggest a shift in agricultural efforts near the Farmers Canal. Small desert outposts like Agua Caliente, Palomas, and Aztec are spaced along the river and the Southern Pacific railroad line, serving as vital nodes in an otherwise sparse environment.
