Proposed Mead to Phoenix 500kV DC Transmission Line Project: Appendix D: Eastwing Substation and Westwing Substation Expansion: Archaeological Surveys (1983)
Two proposed substation site alternatives along the Agua Fria River were surveyed for archaeological resources by the Museum of Northern Arizona in December 1982. One small previously recorded potsherd concentration and a number of isolated artifacts were located within the Westwing area. An extensive Hohokam site was located within the Eastwing parcel, along with a segment of the historic Marinette Heading Canal. The Westwing substation alternative is strongly recommended in preference to the...
A Record of a Portion of the Yuma/California Main Canal and the Yuma Valley Railroad (2009)
The Yuma Irrigation Project (YIP) was an early and essential Reclamation project in the Southwest, and the Yuma/California Main Canal and the Yuma Valley Railroad were important contributors to the success of the YIP and the early development of Yuma, Arizona. Construction on the YIP began shortly after a new federal agency - United States Reclamation Service - had been given authority to reclaim arid and semi-arid lands in the West in 1902. In only a couple of decades, the YIP infrastructure...

Studies Along the Lower Agua Fria River: The Eastwing Site and the Marinette Canal (1987)
Two sites, one prehistoric and one historic, situated northwest of Phoenix and in the south-central part of Arizona, are discussed. Limited field excavation and archival research reveal that the historic site, the Marinette Canal (NA18,267), built in 1910, may have been fed by well water, local runoff, and the seasonal flow of the Agua Fria River. It heads along Calderwood Butte and extends almost 10 km southward toward the present community of Sun City, Arizona. The prehistoric site, the...
Three Dams in Central Arizona: A Study in Technological Diversity (1992)
In this short treatise, three important dams in central Arizona will be used to illustrate relevant issues of dam technology in the United States. These three structures - Roosevelt Dam (completed in 1911), Stewart Mountain Dam (1930), and Horseshoe Dam (1946) - Were built under the auspices of the U.S. Reclamation Service (today known as the Bureau of Reclamation) and the Phoenix-based Salt River Valley Water Users' Association (today the Salt River Project). Constructed across the Salt River...
Tubac School at Tubac Presidio State Park Preliminary Architectural Evaluation and Recommendations for Use (1985)
The Tubac School, one of the several elements comprising the Tubac Presidio State Park, was constructed in 1885 and is one of the earliest American public schools established in what was then the Territory of Arizona. Although no significant historical events are yet associated with the Tubac School, and many other Territorial buildings are of greater architectural interest, the School is an unusually well-preserved example of 19th Century one-room, rural schools. Today the building consists...
