1968 Map of Aztec
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Agua Caliente sits at the northern edge of this desert landscape, where the Agua Caliente Mountains rise above the Gila River valley. This 1960s era survey captures a region defined by arid-land management and transportation, featuring the Southern Pacific railroad cutting straight through Stanwix Flats near the settlement of Stanwix. The map documents the remnants of early irrigation efforts with labels for the South Gila Ditch (Abandoned) and Gila Ditch (Abandoned), alongside local water sources like Howard Well and Stamps Well. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Luke Air Force Range and the Aztec Hills, while the western reach shows Palomas and the White-Wing Ranch near a dedicated Landing Strip. These features together illustrate a mid-century desert economy reliant on rail transit and scattered ranching operations.
