The Gila Valley agricultural landscape is meticulously detailed on this 1985 provisional sheet, showcasing a sophisticated network of irrigation including the Gila River Canal, Smithville Canal, and Union Canal. These waterways supported the expansion of Thatcher and Central, where the residential grid of Thatcher is anchored by Eastern Arizona Jr College and its Athletic Fields. The map transitions from the developed valley floor to the foothills of the Coronado National Forest, where named peaks and mesas like Frye Mesa and Riggs Mesa define the southern terrain.
