USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Luke Air Force Base dominates the western portion of this mid-century survey, reflecting the significant military aviation presence in the Salt River Valley. The landscape illustrates the rapid transformation of the desert as retirement communities like Sun City and Youngtown began to expand eastward across the Agua Fria River. Agriculture remains a primary feature, visible in the extensive grid of La Loma Ranch and the presence of the Grand Canal.
