1952 Map of Phoenix

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Phoenix expansion is documented here through distinctive purple overprints that trace the city's growth in the mid-1960s over the original 1952 survey. The urban core is anchored by the Capitol Bldg and City Hall, while a dense network of educational institutions like West Phoenix High Sch and Phoenix Jr College speak to the postwar population boom. This era shows a landscape transitioning from the agricultural roots suggested by the Grand Canal and Western Canal to an increasingly industrial and civic hub.
