1956 Map of Sacaton NE

About this map

Goldmine Mountain dominates the southwestern portion of this desert landscape, where the agricultural and aviation development of the mid-20th century meets the open arid terrain. The boundary between Maricopa and Pinal counties cuts through the northern section, near the Rittenhouse AF Auxiliary Field. This area shows a transition from the natural drainage of Queen Creek to a burgeoning industrial and ranching infrastructure, evidenced by Bellavista Farms and the settlement at Magma. Transport routes like the Hunt Highway and Cloud Road provide the framework for movement across the basin, while the Queen Creek Siding suggests the importance of rail logistics for local operations. Notable localized landmarks, including a Landing Field and a remote Swimming Pool, highlight the specific human footprint in the high desert during the 1950s.
