1988 Map of Phoenix North

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Hassayampa Plain and the Wickenburg Mountains dominate the western horizon of this 1980s-era landscape, where the agricultural past of the Salt River Valley meets modern urban expansion. The northwestern reaches are defined by the mining legacy of the Vulture Mine and the Lucky Cuss Mine, while the growing retirement communities of Sun City and Sun City West emerge as major residential hubs. Transport and infrastructure are central to the region's development, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and US Highway 60 cutting a diagonal path toward the Phoenix metropolitan area. Water management is visibly critical, illustrated by the Arizona Canal and Beardsley Canal systems which draw from the Agua Fria River. The map also captures significant military and aviation footprints, including Luke Air Force Base and the Luke Air Force Auxiliary Field No 1.
