2021 Map of Marana

About this map

The Santa Cruz River valley near Marana reflects a landscape defined by modern infrastructure and high-desert terrain. In this contemporary survey, the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct cuts a long diagonal path across the arid flats of the Avra Valley, paralleling the critical transportation corridor formed by the Union Pacific Railroad and Interstate 10. The northeastern corner of the map is dominated by the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains, while the south features the natural gap at Rattlesnake Pass. This era shows significant suburban development and logistics growth, centered around the Marana Regional Airport and the smaller settlement of Rillito. Local landmarks like the Marana Mortuary and Cem and numerous new residential streets such as W Gladden Farms Dr and W Clark Farms Bl indicate the transition of former agricultural lands into an expanding residential footprint.
