1907 Map of Sacaton

About this map

The Gila River Indian Reservation dominates this desert landscape at the dawn of the twentieth century, showcasing early irrigation and agricultural development. The settlement of Sacaton serves as a central hub, supported by the Government Pumping Plant and the Santan Ditch, which redirect water from the Gila River to sustain the valley. To the south, the Casa Grande Ruin Res stands as a protected cultural landmark near the northern edge of the Sacaton Mountains.
