I hail from sunny Phoenix, Arizona and I’ve been crawling, climbing, and paddling across the Grand Canyon State over a decade. I have a passion for the wild and a thirst for thrill and adrenaline. With Experience Arizona I aim to bring the adventure to the page and bring you information on the places you gotta see and things you gotta know. 
Arizona Historical Maps
Out exploring Arizona? Here are a few awesome resources I've found that you can use. The first are two very old maps, one from 1881, the other from the 1860s (I believe).
The second is a link to a bunch of old Arizona Topo maps from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. These are incredible. I have spent hours looking at these maps and have found some places I never knew existed. I think this has been my best find of the summer.
Arizona 1881 Map
These are two very cool maps from the 1800s that were sent to me by a friend. The first one is from 1881 and is extremely detailed. I enjoy seeing how things have changed from back then. These second was sent to me as a "Wagon Trail Map". I believe it was from the 1860s, but not sure on this. It's interesting to see how much Arizona grew (not in size) from the 1860s to the 1880s. Huge!
