1996 Map of Mount Lemmon

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Santa Catalina Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the seasonal retreats of Summerhaven and Loma Linda provide a cool refuge within the Coronado National Forest. This survey captures the area's transition from a historical mountain homesteading and mining site to a managed wilderness and scientific hub. The summit of Mt Lemmon is densely packed with infrastructure including an observatory, communication towers, and the Lemmon Rock Lookout, illustrating its strategic importance for both fire watching and astronomy. To the north and west, the terrain drops away through steep canyons like Sabino Canyon and Romero Canyon. Signs of early settlement persist at the Hartman Homestead and Catalina Camp, while the presence of Minas near the northern boundary points to the region's prospecting past before the establishment of the Santa Catalina Wilderness.
