1971 Map of Currys Corner

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Currys Corner serves as the focal point of this orthophotomosaic, captured during a transitional period in the Arizona desert. The map provides a raw, photographic view of the landscape as it appeared in the early 1970s, dominated by the scrub-covered alluvial fans of Maricopa County. Evidence of earlier water management is visible in the southern portion of the quadrangle, where the trace of the Old Verde Canal cuts across the terrain. The contrast between the undisturbed desert floor and the emerging grid of roads near the settlement highlights the early stages of suburban expansion moving into the desert. This specific type of survey, a controlled orthophotomosaic, preserves the actual visual state of the ground surface, offering researchers a literal view of vegetation patterns and primitive road tracks that standard line maps often omit.
