2021 Map of Brown Mountain

About this map

Saguaro National Park dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the Tucson Mountains rise above the desert floor. The map highlights a transition from the preserved wilderness of the Red Hills and Brown Mtn to the developing residential corridors of Tucson Estates. A significant modern engineering feature, the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, cuts across the center of the sheet, illustrating the critical infrastructure required for water management in the arid southwest. To the east, Old Tucson stands as a notable landmark near the base of the mountains, while the southern reach includes Ryan Field and the community of Avra Valley. The extensive trail network, including the Brown Mountain Loop Trl and Gates Pass Trl, reflects the area's significance for recreation and access to the desert environment.
