2018 Map of Marana

About this map

The town of Marana serves as the focal point of this corridor northwest of Tucson, where the modern desert landscape is defined by large-scale infrastructure and residential expansion. The massive Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts across the northern terrain, bypassing the Tortolita Mountains as it delivers water through the arid Avra Valley. Near the banks of the Santa Cruz River, the settlement of Rillito remains a distinct point along the transportation spine formed by the N Casa Grande Hwy and the Interstate 10 corridor. The presence of the Marana Regional Airport and burgeoning developments like those along Saguaro Peaks Blvd near Rattlesnake Pass illustrate the transformation of formerly agricultural or open desert lands into a modern logistical and residential hub during the early 21st century.
