1952 Map of Chandler

About this map

Agricultural development and early suburban expansion define the landscape south of Mesa during the mid-twentieth century. The Southern Pacific rail line serves as a central spine, connecting the core of Chandler with outlying settlements like Falfa and Pozo. The region's reliance on irrigation is evident through the extensive network of the Western Canal, Consolidated Canal, and Eastern Canal, which supported the surrounding ranching and farming operations such as Bell Ranch.
