Gonzales’s ceramic tile mural features Arizona's earliest inhabitants - Apache dancers, vaqueros, prospectors, Spanish explorers, farmers and cowboys. They spring upward from the bottom of the scene in a landscape filled with symbols of the state's diverse history and growth, from agriculture to industry; stagecoach to the railroad and beyond.​
