The Santa Cruz River and Rillito River dominate this modern landscape, tracing the paths of natural drainage through the desert valley as it meets the urban expansion of Tucson. This map documents a complex network of residential developments and established communities such as Oro Valley, Casas Adobes, and Marana. To the west, the rugged elevations of the Tucson Mountains rise sharply, with large portions preserved within Saguaro National Park. The survey illustrates the high density of modern infrastructure, from the Pima Community College Northwest Campus to specialized local landmarks like the Beautiful Savior Church Memorial Garden. The historical settlements of Cortaro, Jaynes, and Stockham are integrated into the contemporary street grid, serving as markers of the area's growth from early ranching and rail stops into the suburban expansion of the twenty-first century.
