1907 Map of Sacaton

About this map

Gila River Indian Reservation dominates this central Arizona landscape at the opening of the twentieth century, with the Gila River and McClellan Wash cutting through the arid terrain. The settlement at Sacaton serves as a focal point for the region, supported by infrastructure like the Government Pumping Plant and a prominent network of ditches. Further south, the Casa Grande Ruin Res marks a significant archaeological site protected by the government. The high ground is defined by the Santan Mtn and the Sacaton Mountains, where peaks like Hayden Peak and Sacaton Peak rise above the basin. To the northeast, ranching life is evident through family-named sites such as Andrada's Ranch and Harrington's Ranch, while the Santa Fe Prescott and Phoenix RR provides a critical rail link near Webster. Local spiritual and community centers like Blackwater Chapel offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in Pinal County.
