1971 Map of Chandler Heights

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chandler Heights appears as a structured grid of agricultural plots and citrus groves in this early 1970s orthophotoquad, showcasing the transition of the Arizona desert into a productive farming region. The irrigation patterns and rectangular fields of the settlement contrast sharply with the natural drainage of Queen Creek and the intricate, branching arroyos that spill out from the southern highlands. These peaks, identified as the Goldmine Mountains, dominate the lower half of the map with their complex, weather-worn slopes. The proximity of the Roosevelt road corridor highlights the infrastructure necessary to support this desert outpost. This photographic survey provides a rare look at the precise layout of local orchards and land use before subsequent decades of suburban expansion reached the southern edges of Maricopa and Pinal counties.
