1964 Map of Valley Farms

About this map

Valley Farms serves as the primary hub of this Pinal County landscape in the mid-1960s, where an extensive network of irrigation features like the Pima Lateral and the Casa Grande Canal define the agricultural footprint. The map documents a transition from desert washes, such as McClellan Wash and Bogart Wash, to a highly organized grid of rural roads and homesteads. Educational and aviation landmarks are prominent, including the Kenilworth Sch and two distinct air facilities: Sarita Airport and the larger Coolidge Florence Municipal Airport. This survey provides a precise look at the desert's mid-century development, marked by named thoroughfares like Vah Ki Inn Road and Cactus Forest Road that connected isolated farms to the growing regional infrastructure.
