1957 Map of Cortaro

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Santa Cruz River valley north of Tucson defines this landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad and Casa Grande Highway facilitate the growth of agricultural and ranching hubs like Marana and Rillito. The valley floor is heavily influenced by the presence of Cortaro Farms and the Cortaro Ditch, illustrating the intensive irrigation required to sustain cultivation in this arid environment. To the east, the Tortolita Mountains rise above the basin, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the jagged peaks of the Tucson Mountains, including Wasson Peak and Safford Peak.
