2018 Map of Corona De Tucson

About this map

Corona De Tucson sits at the northern edge of this desert landscape, where suburban expansion meets the rising foothills of the Santa Rita Mountains. The topography transitions from the relatively flat terrain of the Tucson basin into the complex drainage systems of the Coronado National Forest, notably around Sycamore Canyon. This survey captures a moment of modern residential development defined by a dense network of local roads such as E Cam Del Toro and E Andrada Rd, contrasted against the primitive forest routes deeper in the mountains. Local history and geography are preserved in labels like Sycamore Spring and the old alignment of S Helvita-Vail Rd, which once connected these foothills to the broader Santa Cruz Valley. The presence of Forest Service roads like RD 424 and RD 024 indicates the transition from private land to public protected wilderness.
