1956 Map of Chandler Heights

About this map

Chandler Heights and its surrounding citrus groves sit at the edge of the desert valley, where geometric road grids meet the irregular foothills of the Goldmine Mountain. This mid-century landscape is defined by the critical infrastructure of the Roosevelt Canal and the Southern Pacific railroad, which supported the agricultural expansion of the era. To the south and west, the map transitions into the high relief of the Gila River Santan Indian Reservation, characterized by prominent peaks like Rock Peak and Round Top.
