1952 Map of Fowler

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Agricultural life and early aviation define the landscape west of Phoenix in the early 1950s. The region is characterized by a precise grid of roads like Indian School Road and Van Buren Street, intersected by vital irrigation infrastructure including the Grand Canal and the Roosevelt Pacific Canal. These waterways supported established farming communities at Fowler and Cartwright. The eastern edge of the map shows the industrial and institutional expansion of the city, featuring the Aluminum Plant, the County Hospital, and the County Juvenile Home. Aviation is well-represented by Airhaven Airport in the northeast and Air Topia Airport near the Salt River. To the south, the terrain shifts from irrigated fields to the natural landscape of the Gila River Indian Reservation along the banks of the Gila River.
