1971 Map of Montezuma Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Montezuma Peak dominates the high ground of the Sierra Estrella in this 1971 orthophotomosaic, providing a stark visual record of the desert landscape south of Phoenix before modern suburban expansion reached this specific corridor. The aerial photography captures the sharp transition from the complex ridgelines of the peak down to the braided channel of the Gila River. In the northeastern corner of the sheet, the Santa Cruz Wash joins the river system, carving through a landscape that shows emerging patterns of land use and early infrastructure alongside these ancient watercourses. This study of Pinal and Maricopa counties is particularly valuable for its unvarnished view of the natural terrain and the distinct alluvial fans spreading from the mountain base.
