About this map

Saguaro National Park anchors the western edge of this 2018 survey, where the rugged terrain of the Tucson Mountains meets the expanding residential and commercial corridors of the northwest Tucson valley. The Santa Cruz River corridor serves as a central artery for the landscape, flanked by the communities of Cortaro, Marana, and Kino. The map reveals a high density of modern infrastructure, including the Pima Community College - Northwest Campus and the industrial and rail-adjacent zones around Stockham and Jaynes.

Evidence of the region's complex drainage system is found in named washes and canyons like Animal Wash and Coyote Pass, which cut through the desert landscape toward the Rillito River confluence. While the eastern portions show significant suburban development in Casas Adobes and Tucson National Estates, the western half preserves the desert character of the national park, complete with distinctive topographic features like The Spine and Vertical Cliffs.
