A Brock family photo from the 1940s shows Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway entering Maricopa from Casa Grande. The Dehart home is on the left. A service station is the white building at the end of the road where the highway meets State Route 347. Rhoto’s grocery store is the adobe building at the end of the road on the right, which is currently the NAPA store. SR 347 is now carried over the area by an overpass.
