1968 Map of Jaynes

About this map

The Santa Cruz River and Southern Pacific railroad corridor dictate the settlement patterns of this Pima County landscape as it transitioned from agricultural use to suburban expansion. Numerous named ranches, including Sahuaro Ranch, Iron Bell Ranch, and Sweetwater Ranch, are clustered at the foothills of the Tucson Mts, while the valley floor shows the growth of Cortaro, Kino, and Jaynes. Purple-shaded revisions indicate the rapid development of northern Tucson and its proximity to the Univ of Ariz Experimental Farm. Historical land use is further evidenced by industrial activity such as the Yuma Mine, Gila Monster Mine, and various gravel pits. The presence of Radio Station (KFIF) and Radio Station (KTKT), alongside schools like Green Fields Sch, points to a maturing community infrastructure near the Rillito Creek drainage.
