Summary

1892 map of Salt River Valley, Arizona and the Consolidated Canal System, the South Side Fruit Belt complied and corrected by Schultz & Franklin. With references of "remains of ancient Aztec Canals" and "Ancient Ruins and Mounds" which refer to the Huhugam.

Excerpt from the map: Land with perpetual water right at from $25 to $35 per acre. Water free of charge for three years, thereafter the regular annual charge of $1 per acre per year. And as an inducement we will to the first 20 settlers donate $100 of choice trees or vines, to be selected by purchaser, for each 160 acre tract, $50 for each 80 acre tract and so on, conditional upon his planting the same upon his tract the coming planting season.

The Blue Lines on the map show the Salt River, the different canals, their branches and laterals, each tract of land tapping a main lateral for its water supply; irrigation being accomplished by flooding the land, and not by side absorption.

Each tract has its own service ditch, our map, however, being too small to show other than main section line laterals.
