1952 Map of Phoenix

About this map

Phoenix expands across the Salt River Valley in this mid-century document, revealing a city transitioning from its territorial roots to a major regional hub. The urban core is anchored by the Capitol Bldg, while a dense network of neighborhood institutions like Kenilworth School and Carver High Sch serve the growing population. To the east, the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport reflects the era's increasing reliance on aviation.
