1956 Map of Magma

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Magma Arizona and the Southern Pacific railroads meet at the small junction of Magma, serving as the primary infrastructure in this arid Pinal County landscape during the mid-1950s. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral Queen Creek in the north and a network of utility corridors, including a Telephone Line, Power Line, and Pipeline that traverse the open desert. Aviation markers like the southern Landing Strip and a central Landing Field indicate the importance of private or localized flight in this era. Local ranching life is represented by the Ellsworth Ranch to the east, while scattered infrastructure such as a Water Tank and several points labeled Well reflect the vital necessity of water management for sustaining the small settlements and transit hubs in the Arizona desert before modern suburban expansion.
