1952 Map of Fowler

About this map

Alhambra and the western reaches of Phoenix dominate the northeastern portion of this survey, reflecting the rapid expansion of the metropolitan area toward Tolleson. The landscape transitions from dense residential blocks and parks like Encanto Park and Starlight Park into a systematic grid of agricultural fields and irrigation infrastructure. The Grand Canal and the Gila and Salt River Base Line provide the primary structural framework for the region's development, while the dry bed of the Salt River cuts across the southern portion. This area is characterized by essential county infrastructure and community landmarks, including the County Hospital, County Juvenile Home, and the Beth Israel Cem. These institutional clusters and early school sites like Murphy Sch No 2 and Riverside Sch offer a clear record of how public services and education kept pace with the region's mid-century growth.
