1957 Map of Mount Lemmon

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Santa Catalina Mts dominate the landscape of the late 1950s, rising sharply above the expanding northern reaches of Tucson. This topographic study details the dramatic transition from the high-altitude settlement at Summerhaven and the high peaks of Mount Lemmon down to the desert floor. In the mountains, hikers and miners frequented the Palisade Trail and Hartman Homestead Mines, while the southern foothills show a burgeoning network of institutions like the Southern Ariz Sch for Boys and the Immaculate Heart Novitiate.
