1914 Map of Phoenix

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

The growing agricultural hub of Phoenix is documented here just before World War I, centered within a complex lattice of irrigation canals essential to the desert economy. The landscape is defined by the engineered flow of the Grand Canal, Salt River Valley Canal, and the Wormer Canal, which supported a network of rural schools including Cartwright School and Isaac School. To the south, the massive Salt River Mountains rise above the basin, hiding the Gold Coin Mine and the route through Telegraph Pass.
