The Hohokam people abandoned most of their settlements during the period between 1350 and 1450. It is thought that the Great Drought (1276–99), combined with a subsequent period of sparse and unpredictable rainfall that persisted until approximately 1450, contributed to this process.

The Hohokam people occupied the valley and much of southern Arizona from A.D. 1 to 1450. Michael Hampshire’s rendering of the large platform mound at Pueblo Grande on the north bank of the Salt River.
