1957 Map of McMicken Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a sharp diagonal across this desert landscape, defining the corridor of development through northern Maricopa County. This mid-century survey illustrates an era of transition for the region, where older ranching footprints like Bard Ranch and the early rail stop at Beardsley coexist with massive water management infrastructure. The complex water system is anchored by the Mc Micken Dam Spillway 1354, designed to capture and redirect runoff from the northern foothills.
