1948 Map of Cashion

About this map

The Sierra Estrella mountains dominate the southern portion of this 1940s landscape, providing a stark contrast to the burgeoning agricultural and military developments to the north. This postwar era reveals a region defined by extensive irrigation networks, including the Roosevelt Irrigation District Canal, which fueled the growth of farming settlements like Cashion and Tolleson. The map documents a significant military presence following World War II, showing the U S Naval Air Facility and Goodyear Landing Field near the settlement of Goodyear. Rural life is anchored by local institutions such as Pendergast Sch and the Agua Fria Sch, while the Avondale Farm Labor Supply Center highlights the organized agricultural labor systems of the day. The confluence of the Agua Fria River and the Gila River serves as a geographic centerpiece, marking the boundary of the Gila River Indian Reservation in the southeast.
