USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through this arid landscape, anchoring the settlement of Theba and the siding at Smurr. Agriculture in this desert environment is sustained by the Gila Bend Canal and various Irrigation Canals pulling from the Gila River. The presence of the Gillespie Ranch and the nearby private Gillespie Airfield indicates a significant localized footprint of ranching and aviation infrastructure in the early postwar years.
