1956 Map of Sacaton NE

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor defines this mid-century landscape of the Sonoran Desert, cutting a straight diagonal across the basin near the border of Maricopa Co and Pinal Co. In this era before widespread suburbanization, the map reveals a sparsely settled territory focused on rail transit and emerging agriculture. Significant military infrastructure is present at the Rittenhouse AF Auxiliary Field in the north, while the southern reaches show early industrial and farming outposts like Bellavista Farms and the settlement of Magma.
