1955 Map of Roll

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Gila River corridor in southwestern Arizona is depicted here at a mid-century moment of significant agricultural and hydraulic engineering. The landscape is defined by the Mohawk Canal and Wellton-Kofa Canal, which deliver water to the valley floor near settlements like Roll and Growler. This irrigation network supported local infrastructure such as the Mohawk Valley Sch and the Terry Ranch. Away from the river, the terrain transitions sharply into the Castle Dome Mountains and the arid expanse of the Kofa Game Range. In these higher elevations, the map records the region's mining and grazing history through labels like Sheep Mine, Mesquite Jim Well, and the Renner Well. The presence of the Southern Pacific railroad line alongside the river highlights the importance of this transit route through Tyson Valley.
