1956 Map of Higley

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Williams Air Force Base dominates the landscape of southeastern Maricopa County in this mid-century survey, surrounded by the evolving agricultural and military footprint of the Salt River Valley. The map captures a transition point for the rural communities of Higley and Queen Creek, where the grid of irrigation infrastructure like the Eastern Canal and Roosevelt Canal fostered a blossoming cotton and citrus economy. Settlement patterns follow the Southern Pacific railroad line, which connects smaller stops and sidings like Germann and Rittenhouse.
