1968 Map of Brown Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Tucson Mountain Park and the rugged eastern slopes of the Tucson Mountains dominate this late-sixties landscape. The map reveals a fascinating intersection of desert conservation and western heritage, most notably at the Old Tucson film set and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. To the west, the arid Avra Valley spreads across the Papago Indian Reservation, defined by long stretches of Sandario Road and a major utility Pipeline. Isolated water sources like Robles Well and San Joaquin Well highlight the critical role of groundwater in this desert environment. In the southern reaches, aviation activity is centered at Ryan Field, supported by an Airway Beacon and a nearby Radio Tower. From the peaks of Brown Mountain to the flatlands of the valley, the survey documents a region balancing rural ranching at Phillips Ranch with emerging tourism and scientific study.
