About this map

Gillespie Dam stands as a central industrial landmark on the Gila River, marking a point of intensive water management in the arid desert landscape. This 1970s survey captures the complex irrigation infrastructure including the Enterprise Canal and Eighty Canal which divert water toward the Arlington Valley. The surrounding terrain is defined by the Gila Bend Mountains and the Buckeye Hills, where mining activity is evident at the Buckeye Copper Mine and various scattered prospect sites.
