USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Agricultural life in the Gila Valley is meticulously detailed in this mid-1980s revision, showing the extensive network of irrigation canals that support the settlements of Safford, Thatcher, and Solomon. The landscape is a complex grid of water management, featuring the Smithville Canal, Union Canal, and Highline Canal, which divert water from the Gila River. This irrigation system allowed for the cultivation of areas like Cactus Flat and Freeman Flat, transforming the arid basin into a productive corridor.
