About this map

The town of Buckeye serves as the focal point for this late-1950s survey of the Buckeye Valley. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the area's development, with the Arlington Canal feeding the agricultural lands north of the Gila River. The map shows the town's early civic core, including the City Hall and the H S, while the smaller settlement of Allenville is situated just south of the canal.

South of the river, the landscape transitions sharply into the arid Buckeye Hills and the northern reaches of Rainbow Valley. This rugged section contains numerous mineral Prospects and archaeological interest, specifically noted by the Petroglyphs located near the western boundary. Significant landmarks like Eagle Mtn and Mica peak stand out among the complex terrain, which is traversed by a network of unimproved tracks and a Jeep Trail, providing a clear record of the area's desert character before suburban expansion.
