1971 Map of Tolleson
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The agricultural landscape of the Salt River Valley is captured in high detail through this 1971 orthophotomosaic, showing a mosaic of irrigated fields surrounding the growing desert communities. Tolleson and Avondale are clearly defined as concentrated clusters of development amid a vast grid of farmland, while the planned community of Litchfield Park sits at the northern edge. The south is anchored by the braided channels of the Gila River, which flows through an uncultivated corridor. This specific format—an orthophotoquad—provides a photographic perspective on land use, revealing the precise density of residential tracts in Cashion and the industrial or utility structures that supported the area's mid-century expansion.
