About this map

Valencia and the northern reaches of Buckeye are captured in this survey, showcasing a period of rapid suburban expansion into the desert landscape of Maricopa County. The organized grid of residential streets, including developments along W Sundance Pkwy, contrasts with the older agricultural infrastructure defined by the Roosevelt Irrigation District. Major transportation routes like the W Tonopah Salome Hwy and Buckeye Csr provide the primary framework for this growing community.

Local history is anchored by the Louis B Hazelton Memorial Cemetery, a significant landmark for genealogical research in the area. Further north, the terrain transitions toward the White Tanks Proving Grounds, illustrating the intersection of residential growth and military land use in the Arizona desert. This map documents a landscape in transition, where legacy irrigation canals and desert proving grounds meet the rising demand for suburban housing.
