Cat Mountain and the western reaches of the Tucson metropolitan area define this 2011 survey, where residential expansion meets the distinctive peaks of the Tucson Mountains. The landscape transitions from the urbanized sprawl near Drexel Heights and the Santa Cruz Valley to the rocky heights of Golden Gate Mountain, Bushmaster Peak, and Tower Peak. This area is a significant corridor for scientific and recreational activity, featuring the University of Arizona Geochronology Laboratories and the El Rio Golf Course.
