A Historical Study of the SRP Distribution System (2011)
The Salt River Valley consists of nearly half-million acres in central Arizona. It is a semiarid area with alluvial soils suitable for agriculture, but low rainfall makes irrigation a necessity for cultivation. Early settlers knew that a system of canals and laterals was necessary for agricultural production. For sustained growth, the farmers needed a water storage facility. With the passage of the National Reclamation Act in 1902, the federal government authorized the Salt River Project (SRP)....

A History of Indian Garden, An Administrative Site on the Tonto National Forest, Gila County, Arizona (2007)
Located along a spring-fed stream, Indian Garden has attracted and supported as wide a range of activities as perhaps any site in the area below the Mogollon Rim. Recent work by Desert Archaelogy has shown that prehistoric people used the Indian Garden area as early as 770 B.C., and that Apaches exploited the locality during the early twentieth century (Ferguson and Anyon 2000a; Sarah Herr, personal communication 2007). From the 1880s to the turn of this century, the site served sequentially as...
