The Santa Cruz River corridor northwest of Tucson exhibits a landscape of transition in the late 1960s, where traditional desert ranching meets burgeoning infrastructure. Several named properties like Sahuaro Ranch, Iron Bell Ranch, and Sweetwater Ranch are situated along the eastern slopes of the Tucson Mts, which also contain legacy extraction sites such as the Yuma Mine and Gila Monster Mine. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs parallel to the river, anchoring small settlements like Cortaro, Kino, and Jaynes.
