The Santa Cruz River valley northwest of Tucson shows a landscape of suburban expansion and industrial utility in the late 1990s. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for settlements like Cortaro, Jaynes, and Stockham, which are surrounded by a growing network of roads such as Pima Farm Road and Ruthrauff Road. The transition from the desert floor to the heights is marked by the boundaries of Saguaro National Park and Tucson Mountain Park to the west, where the Gila Monster Mine and other unnamed mines signify the area's extraction history.
