USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Gila River valley serves as the central artery for this 1960s desert landscape, where irrigation canals like the San Jose Canal support agriculture against a backdrop of arid peaks. The city of Safford and neighboring Thatcher form the hub of Graham County, linked by the Southern Pacific railroad and the presence of the Safford Municipal Airport. To the north, the terrain climbs toward Weber Peak and Turtle Mountain, a region marked by mining activity at the Ben Hur Mine and Lone Star Mine.
