This map shows where the Huhugam canals (blue lines) conveyed water all throughout the Salt River Valley, with historic canals built along Huhugam alignments (dark blue lines). Many of the Huhugam canals were dug out by settlers for irrigation use, which is why you see many of the older SRP canals follow and overlay the Huhugam canals.
