About this map

Goldmine Mountain dominates the southwestern corner of this mid-century landscape, overlooking an area where desert terrain meets the expanding infrastructure of the Gila River Valley. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line across the quadrangle, serving local agricultural and industrial needs through stops like Queen Creek Siding and the settlement of Magma. Water management is a critical theme of the era, visible in the presence of a Diversion Dike and the seasonal path of Queen Creek, which is flanked by occasional vegetation.
