Recordation of the historic Crismon Farmstead was prompted by the impending extension of the Red Mountain Freeway. Because part of the old farm has been determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the freeway will not physically encroach on the house and associated outbuildings. Nevertheless, the Arizona Department of Transportation sponsored the preparation of this State Historic Register documentation of the property so that its place in the history of the...

Flooding along the Salt, Gila, Verde, and Agua Fria Rivers in February and March of 1978 resulted in extensive damage to property in Central Arizona and in the disruption of ground transportation and commerce in the greater Phoenix area. Major flooding also occurred along these rivers in December, 1978 and February, 1980. The recognition of this flooding problem, and of requirements for the regulatory storage of Central Arizona Project (CAP) water, prompted the U.S. Department of the Interior,...

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)....

Booklet gives a brief overview of the history of SRP and the canal system. "The Salt River Project (SRP) began as a partnership between the federal government and landowners in Central Arizona – a partnership that has allowed the area to flourish. When landowners formed the Salt River Valley Water Users’ Association (the Association) over a century ago, it signaled a turning point in the rise of Phoenix as a major Southwestern city. SRP became one of the nation’s first reclamation projects...

This report discusses excavation results at two Hohokam farmsteads (AZ U:1:183 [ASM] and AZ U:1:186 [ASM]) in north Scottsdale, Arizona. Data recovery investigations identified one pithouse and several extramural features at both sites. In addition, a pole-and-brush-lined surface structure was identified at AZ U:1:186 (ASM) that suggests the pithouse may have functioned as a cold-season dwelling while the surface structure served as a warm-season dwelling. Architecture and material culture...
