About this map

The Gila River and Salt River confluence anchors this 1981 survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial agriculture and early aviation infrastructure. In the western reaches, the Southern Pacific Railroad connects remote points like Arlington Station and Palo Verde, while the Buckeye Hills and Gila Bend Mountains rise above the irrigated expanses of the Buckeye valley. The map documents significant cultural boundaries, including large portions of the Gila River Indian Reservation and the Ak Chin Indian Reservation. Military and civil aviation footprints are prominent at Luke Aux Field No 5 and the Phoenix-Litchfield Municipal Airport. Mining history is preserved at the Buckeye Copper Mine and Webb Mountain Mine, while the southern expanse transitions into the arid Rainbow Valley near Sevenmile Mountain.
