2018 Map of Mount Fagan

About this map

New Tucson serves as the primary residential hub on this high-desert landscape, where suburban street grids meet the expansive reaches of the Coronado National Forest. To the south and east, the terrain rises into the Santa Rita Mountains and the Empire Mountains, anchored by the prominent peak of Mt Fagan. This area is defined by its drainage systems and water infrastructure, essential for ranching and survival in the arid environment. Numerous man-made water catchments like Cemetery Tank, Missile Tank, and Duck Tank are scattered throughout the quadrangle, alongside natural features like Tunnel Spring and Ojo Blanco Spring. Deep drainages such as Davidson Canyon and Papago Canyon carve through the foothills, illustrating the complex topography that transitions from the basin floor to the rugged mountain heights.
