USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Gila Bend emerges as a vital crossroads in the Sonoran Desert in the early 1970s, where the Southern Pacific railroad and Old U.S. Highway 80 converge. The town's grid is flanked by San Lucy Village and the Gila Bend Indian Reservation to the north, while the southern landscape is dominated by aviation and defense infrastructure. The presence of the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field and the sprawling Luke Air Force Range underscores the area's strategic military importance.
