2021 Map of Cat Mountain

About this map

The Tucson Mountains dominate the landscape west of Tucson, where peaks like Tower Peak and Golden Gate Mtn overlook the evolving desert floor. The 2021 topography illustrates a complex meeting of rugged terrain and suburban growth, with the winding Gates Pass providing a critical corridor through the range. To the east, the sprawling Pima Community College - West Campus and the historic Tumamoc Hill mark the transition toward the city center. In the south, the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a distinct path across the Avra Valley, highlighting the modern infrastructure necessary to support the expanding residential developments of Drexel Heights and Valencia West. The map also details numerous hiking routes like the Yetman Trl and Golden Gate Trl, which navigate the steep elevations between Red Butte and Beehive Peak.
