Coolidge Lake Arizona Safford Globe 1946 RPPC Postcard Posted

This 1946 real photo postcard documents Coolidge Lake in Arizona, capturing a reservoir landscape between Safford and Globe during the mid-twentieth century.

Coolidge Lake, formed by the construction of Coolidge Dam on the Gila River, became an important water resource for irrigation and regional development in southeastern Arizona. The surrounding landscape reflects the arid terrain of the Gila Valley, where water management projects played a central role in shaping agriculture and settlement patterns.

The image presents a wide view of the lake with calm water extending through a desert basin, framed by low hills and distant mountain ranges. The handwritten-style caption reads Coolidge Lake Between Safford & Globe Ariz, consistent with locally produced real photo postcards of the period. The photographic composition emphasizes horizontal depth and the contrast between water and surrounding desert terrain.
