About this map

South Mountain Park and the rugged Phoenix Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the Arizona desert, capturing a period of expanding institutional and recreational land use. The map highlights the sprawling Phoenix Proving Grounds and the Phoenix Police Academy situated against the mountain slopes. To the north, early urban development is signaled by a Trailer Park and residential clusters along Dobbins Road, while the Western Canal indicates the importance of irrigation in the arid environment.
