Summary
The San Francisco Canal was one of the first few operating irrigation ditches in the Salt River Valley. It was the only privately owned canal south of the Salt and after 1901, it was the principal water source for the seven thousand acre Bartlett-Heard Land and Cattle Company. The canal continues to serve residential Tempe. The San Francisco Canal originally had its head constructed on the south side of the Salt River approximately 1 mile below the milling town of Tempe, Arizona. The canal flowed 3.25 miles in a southerly direction, and then divided into the North and South branches. The North Branch extended along the Salt River in a westerly direction, and the South Branch extended in a southwesterly direction.
