2014 Map of Red Rock

About this map

The Santa Cruz River and Los Robles Wash cut through this Sonoran desert landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management in Pinal and Pima counties. This modern topographic study shows the massive infrastructure of the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct running east-to-west across the terrain, contrasting with older cattle-era features like Wilmonts Pond and Double Tank. The settlement of Red Rock serves as a focal point near the Interstate corridor, while the expansive Pinal Airpark occupies a significant footprint in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local road names such as E Missile Base Rd hint at the Cold War-era utility of this open desert, providing researchers with a detailed look at how transportation and military history have shaped the region south of the Suizo Wash.
