1957 Map of Calderwood Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Lizard Acres and Surprise sit at the center of this 1957 survey, which documents a pivotal era of suburban expansion and desert engineering. The landscape is defined by the Agua Fria River and an extensive irrigation network including the Beardsley Canal and Marinette Canal, which transformed the arid valley floor for agricultural and residential use. The map captures the early footprints of Sun City and Peoria, marked by the circular street patterns that would become iconic of the region's mid-century growth.
