About this map

Valley Farms and the surrounding Pinal County desert floor are defined by a complex network of irrigation and aviation infrastructure in the mid-1960s. The landscape is heavily structured by water management systems including the Casa Grande Canal, Florence Canal, and the Pima Lateral, which distribute water across a grid of roads named for local families and landmarks like Clemans Road and Kenilworth Road.

Aviation is a prominent theme on this sheet, featuring the expansive Coolidge Florence Municipal Airport with its control tower, the smaller Sarita Airport, and a dedicated Landing Strip further north. Local education and industry are represented by the Kenilworth Sch and scattered resources like a Gravel Pit and Sandpit. Natural drainage through Bogart Wash and McClellan Wash contrasts with the straight-line precision of the surveyed agricultural grid.
