1971 Map of Casa Grande West

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Sacaton Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this orthophotomap, showing the stark transition from the high relief of the peaks to the alluvial fans below. By the early 1970s, the southern portion of the quadrangle shows significant agricultural development, characterized by a geometric grid of fields and irrigation infrastructure that contrasts sharply with the untamed desert terrain to the north. The drainage patterns of the North Branch Santa Cruz Wash and the main Santa Cruz Wash are clearly visible, tracing the natural path of water through the arid valley. In the southeast corner, the outskirts of Casa Grande begin to emerge, marking the encroachment of urban settlement into the surrounding farmland and desert during this period of Arizona's growth.
