Notes: Museum of Northern Arizona Research Paper Number 40.  The Baccharis Site is a late Pioneer/early Colonial farmstead, primarily consisting of citrus farming from the 1930s until the 1970s.  The prehistoric Hohokam remains at the site represent one of the earliest substantiated sites in the Northern Periphery.  The Arizona Canal, historically known as the Extension Arizona Canal, was in an area located immediately north of the Baccharis site.  The canal was finished in 1893, but there is no record of its abandonment.  This work was done prior to the construction of the Agua Fria freeway in the Peoria and Sun City areas.
