About this map

Agricultural development and early cold-war aviation infrastructure define this portion of the Gila River Valley west of Phoenix. The landscape is structured by a grid of named rural roads, including Indian School Road and Jackrabbit Trail, which service a network of vital irrigation systems like the Beardsley Canal and Roosevelt Canal. Small settlements such as Perryville and McMicken are centers for local activity, while the presence of a Labor Camp and a Trailer Park reflects the era's labor and housing patterns.

Military and recreational interests intersect here, with Luke Air Force Auxiliary Field No 6 occupying the western edge near the White Tanks foothills. To the south, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor passes through Liberty (Siding) near the Gila River. Notable landmarks added in the early 1970s revision include the large Phoenix Trotting Park and the Sierra Estrella Golf Course within Casey Abbott Semi-Regional Park.
