1992 Map of Cat Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Tucson Mountain Park dominates this western desert landscape, where the high peaks of the Tucson Mountains meet the expanding urban periphery of Tucson. By the early 1990s, residential development is visible pressing toward the rugged terrain of Cat Mountain and Sentinel Peak, while the San Joaquin Aqueduct and numerous irrigation ditches underscore the vital role of water management in the region. The map captures the meeting point of conservation and development, with the San Xavier Indian Reservation bordering the southern reaches near Saginaw Hill. Researchers can trace the path of the West Branch Santa Cruz River and find cultural markers like Pima Community College and the Amphitheater near John F Kennedy Parkway. The presence of several pits and quarries near Snyder Hill points to the area's ongoing extractive history amidst its natural landmarks.
