1996 Map of Avra

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Avra Valley provides a sharp contrast between the irrigated agricultural lowlands and the protected desert peaks of the Saguaro National Park (Tucson Mountain Section). The settlement of Avra sits amidst a network of flumes and an aqueduct, supporting the region's intensive water management needs. To the east, the landscape rises toward high points like Wasson Peak and Panther Peak, where mining history is preserved at the Gould Mine, Mile-Wide Mine, and a notable Gold Mine. This mid-1990s record documents the established recreational infrastructure of the Saguaro Wilderness, including the Red Hills Visitor Center and various public gathering spots such as the Signal Hill Picnic Area and Cam-Boh Picnic Area. The map also captures industrial activity at a large Quarry near Twin Peaks, illustrating the balance of preservation and extraction in the Tucson vicinity.
