1971 Map of Fowler

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Phoenix extends its suburban footprint into the agricultural landscape of Maricopa County in this early 1970s orthophotomosaic. The map illustrates a stark transition between the expanding residential grids in the north and the established section-line farming plots of Fowler and Santa Maria to the south. This aerial perspective reveals the geometric precision of the valley's irrigation and land use patterns, providing a visual record of the area's development before the intensification of modern sprawl. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the broad, braided path of the Salt River, which carves through the desert floor and dictates the limits of the surrounding cultivation. For those studying the evolution of the Salt River Valley, the imagery provides an unfiltered look at the landscape's transformation from rural outskirts to part of the metropolitan core.
