1928 Map of Mohawk

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor defines this desert landscape, running parallel to the Gila River through the heart of the Mohawk Valley. In the late 1920s, this area was a critical transit and utility artery, evidenced by the infrastructure of the Gas and Water Company and Gila Valley Electric. Small railroad-oriented settlements like Colfred, Pembroke, and Gael punctuate the rail line, while the Mohawk Inn serves as a lone landmark along the highway. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Copper Mountains, where the Arizona Consolidated Mining Co operation sits near the edge of the range. This survey captures a moment when desert survival and industrial progress relied on a narrow band of water and iron, stretching from the river to the remote Papago Well.
