1952 Map of Laveen

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Gila River Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of the Gila River and the Santa Cruz River. The area showcases an intricate irrigation network including the Co-op Ditch, Western Canal, and Hoover Ditch, which supported local agriculture and small indigenous and pioneer settlements. Cultural centers like Komatke and Gila Crossing appear alongside educational and religious landmarks such as the St Johns Indian Sch, while rural life is further evidenced by clusters of cemeteries and the Maricopa Village settlement. The terrain transitions sharply from the alluvial plains of the Santa Cruz Wash to the prominent heights of South Mountain Park and the rugged Sierra Estrella in the southwest corner. Published in 1975 with revisions, this map provides a detailed view of the border between Maricopa and Pinal Counties during a period of transition.
