About this map

Southern Pacific tracks cut a sharp diagonal across this desert landscape, anchoring a series of mid-century agricultural and industrial outposts along the Maricopa Co Pinal Co line. The rail infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Queen Creek Siding and the settlement of Magma in the southeast corner. This era of land use is further marked by the presence of Rittenhouse AF Auxiliary Field and several landing strips, reflecting the importance of aviation in these expansive desert tracts.
