1957 Map of Calderwood Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Agua Fria River bisects this Maricopa County landscape, illustrating a period of rapid suburban and agricultural transition. Evidence of ancient habitation appears at Indian Ruins and Petroglyphs near Calderwood Butte, while modern development is represented by the expansion of Sun City and the early layout of Surprise. The map documents critical infrastructure for the arid environment, including the Mc Micken Dam, the Beardsley Canal, and the Marinette Heading Canal. Aviation and military history are marked by Luke Auxiliary Field No 3 and several isolated landing strips. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves the small siding of Ennis and the uniquely named Lizard Acres, capturing the rail-dependent shipping nodes before the total dominance of the highway system.
