1952 Map of Sacaton Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Gila River Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century landscape, illustrating the critical relationship between the desert terrain and water management. The Gila River is flanked by an extensive system of levees, while the South Side Canal cuts across the eastern slopes near the Sacaton Mts. The settlement of Casa Blanca serves as a local hub, featuring the Casa Blanca Ch, Culbertson Mem Ch, and a nearby Cemetery. This 1950s survey documents a transitional period for the area, noting a Sewage Disposal (Aband) site and the industrial presence of the Papago Gin to the southwest. Transport through the arid basin is defined by the Southern Pacific Road and White Parker Road, which navigate around the prominent volcanic rise of Sacaton Butte and the shifting sands of the Santa Cruz Wash.
