Historic Documentation of a Return Flow Canal Near 99th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona

Author(s): Mark R. Hackbarth

Year: 2005

Summary

Historic records documentation and photographic recordation was conducted for a return flow canal constructed between a.d. 1917 to 1921 as part of the region’s agricultural development. The feature has an interconnected history with the Salt River Project and the Roosevelt, St. Johns-Laveen, and Buckeye Irrigation Districts. The canal segment is an example of irrigation features that are fast disappearing and is eligible for inclusion on the National Register under Criterion D because of its information potential. The return flow canal is an integral part of the irrigation system that made possible the earliest development of the region. The Arizona State Historic Preservation Office has previously determined that creation of interpretative signs that provide information about these features is an appropriate method for mitigating the adverse effects of the proposed construction.
