1957 Map of Cortaro

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Santa Cruz River bottomlands and the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains define this Pima County landscape during a mid-century period of ranching and early development. The Southern Pacific rail line and the Casa Grande Highway serve as the primary artery for local trade, connecting settlements like Marana, Rillito, and Cortaro. Agriculture is anchored by the Cortaro Farms Ditch, while the surrounding desert terrain is dotted with active and legacy mining operations, including the Gila Monster Mine, Mile-wide Mine, and Yuma Mine.
