1981 Map of Green Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Santa Cruz River valley near the turn of the 1980s displays a landscape defined by the proximity of the growing Green Valley residential area and the agricultural and transit hub at Continental. While residential development and a Golf Course characterize the northwest, the map records the vital infrastructure of the era, including the Southern Pacific railroad and a Landing Strip. The eastern half of the sheet is dominated by the Santa Rita Experimental Range and Wildlife Area, where numerous drainage features like Sawmill Canyon Wash and Florida Canyon Wash descend toward the valley. This survey captures a moment when the rural character of the Grant Boundary area remained distinct from the intensifying suburban footprint, marked by scattered local landmarks such as the Continental Sch, a Cem, and various stock tanks like Kinney Tank and Horseshoe Tank.
