1957 Map of Valencia

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The White Tank Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Maricopa County region, where ancient Petroglyphs are preserved near the high desert peaks. In the lowlands, the settlement of Valencia is defined by a grid of agricultural development supported by an extensive irrigation network, including the Roosevelt Canal, Buckeye Canal, and the Pacific Buckeye Canal. These man-made waterways contrast with the natural course of the Gila and Salt River to the south. Military activity is prominent in the eastern reaches, marked by the White Tanks Proving Grounds and Luke Air Force Auxiliary Field No 6. Local history is anchored by landmarks such as the Louis B Hazelton Memorial Cemetery and essential infrastructure like the Buckeye Tank and a prominent Landing Strip.
