Retracing the Butterfield Overland Trail Through Arizona - A Guide to the Route of 1857-1861 (1973)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
This book was written to show the physical route and approximate station locations of the Butterfield Overland Company from 1858 to 1861 in Arizona. My interest in trying to follow the old trail, and finding much scattered information to guide me in locating the original sites of the stations, led to the idea of putting this information together in a book that would be easy for others to follow, and perhaps give the reader an armchair trip over the Butterfield Overland Trail in Arizona.

SRP and the Bureau of Reclamation: A Political Analysis of the Past, Present and Future Relationship (1994)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation was created by Congress in 1902 to build irrigation projects in the West. The Salt River Project, as one of the first reclamation projects, in a sense owes its life to the Bureau. However, the passage of the Reclamation Act was due in large part to the political influence of private citizens in the West, with prominent roles played by citizens of the Salt River Valley. So the Bureau at least partly owes its life to the Salt River Project. The two organizations have...

The Story of SRP: Water, Power, and Community (2017)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Katelyn Roessel
This is, in the end, the story of those who call the Valley of the Sun home. From its earliest conception, SRP was created by—and for—the communities it serves. Over time, SRP’s water and power services have helped ensure the successful achievement of its original purpose: the economic development of the Valley and the region. When the Association was formed in 1903, the population of Maricopa County was barely twenty thousand. On his visit to the Valley just eight years later for the dedication...

Studies in the Prehistory of Central Arizona; The Central Arizona Water Control Study, Volume 2 (1986)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Uploaded by: Katelyn Roessel
Draft Copy Even for those involved, it is not easy to grasp or remember all that happened as part of the Central Arizona Water Study. This is partly because of the sheer size of the undertaking (at one point 19 different alternatives, with about three variations each, were being analyzed), partly because of the shifting objectives of the project, and partly because archaeology was only a small part of a very large multi-disciplinary study that lasted over 3 years. But, perhaps, closest to the...
