About this map

Arizona City stands as a planned residential and recreational hub in the northern section of this map, featuring Adkins Park, a Golf Course, and the circular residential layouts typical of mid-century desert development. To the south, the landscape transitions into the agricultural and geological expanse of the Santa Cruz Flats. The prominent Sawtooth Mountains dominate the southwest corner, where the terrain rises sharply from the basin floor. This area is punctuated by small-scale mining activity, including a Prospect and a Guzzler.

The ephemeral Greene Wash meanders through the central valley, passing near Curry Camp and across the Papago Indian Reservation boundary. A dense network of section-line roads, such as Sunland Gin Road and Lamb Road, reveals a landscape defined by large-scale irrigation and desert agriculture. Notable landmarks like Lake Towers and a localized Trailer Park provide specific reference points for those studying the growth of Pinal County in the early 1980s.
