1965 Map of Casa Grande East

About this map

Sacaton Mountains dominate the northeastern landscape, where Signal Peak and Black Butte rise above the arid Pinal County basin. To the southwest, the growing street grid of Casa Grande is visible, featuring local landmarks like the Union High Sch, Evergreen Sch, and the municipal City Park. The area is a hub of transportation and irrigation, with the Gila River and the Gila River Indian Reservation Boundary defining the northern reaches. This 1965 survey, updated in the early 1980s, highlights the expansion of infrastructure such as Interchange 190 and Interchange 194, alongside established institutions like Central Arizona College. The drainage of the North Branch Santa Cruz Wash cuts through the center, illustrating the complex relationship between the desert topography and mid-century suburban and educational development.
