1981 Map of Newman Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Newman Peak and the high ridges of the Picacho Mountains dominate this arid landscape between Phoenix and Tucson. The corridor through the flats is a busy artery of transportation, defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and the modern Picacho Peak Interchange. In the shadow of Picacho Peak, Picacho Peak State Park provides structured recreation and preservation, including Historical Monuments that reflect the area's significance. Small desert settlements and stopovers like Picacho, Ocotillo, and Wymola dot the rail line, while the Marana Auxiliary Landing Field and a nearby Landing Strip indicate the region's importance for aviation. This 1981 survey effectively captures the balance between the preserve's natural relief and the industrial infrastructure following the McClellan Wash.
