1952 Map of Mesa
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa appear in the early 1950s as rapidly expanding agricultural and residential hubs defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. The Salt River corridor is central to this landscape, flanked by the Salt River Indian Reservation and punctuated by geological landmarks like Hole-in-the-Rock and Barnes Butte. This era captures Arizona State College before its transition to a university, alongside rural industrial markers like the Kyrene Steam Generating Plant and numerous Grain Elevators in Chandler.
