About this map

Mount Lemmon and the mountain community of Summerhaven define this high-elevation landscape in the Santa Catalina Mountains. The map illustrates a developed recreation and residential hub centered around the Mount Lemmon Post Office and the Mount Lemmon Ski Valley, where narrow winding routes like Turkey Run Rd and Turkey St provide access to the village. The presence of the Lemmon Rock Lookout and the Loma Linda Picnic Area underscores the area's long-standing role as a mountain retreat and fire observation point.

Deep canyons and prominent ridges radiate from the peak, including Marshall Gulch and the Wilderness of Rocks to the south. Water sources are scarce but critical, marked by numerous small springs such as Pidgeon Spring and Cold Spring. The terrain transitions from the developed enclave at Loma Linda to the dramatic rock formations of Cathedral Rock and Window Rock, capturing the varied character of the Arizona highlands at the start of the 2010s.
