USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Tucson Mountain Park and the surrounding Sonoran landscape reveal a postwar era of ranching and early aviation. The Santa Cruz River valley is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad, connecting the agricultural operations of Cortaro Farms and the Cortaro settlement. The map highlights the area's transition toward modern infrastructure with the U S Army Landing Field, Silver Bell Airport, and an Airway Beacon guiding flights through the desert.
