1980 Map of Red Rock

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors this arid Pinal County landscape, cutting a diagonal path through the settlement of Red Rock. This era of the late 1970s and early 1980s reveals an environment shaped by infrastructure, including the Saguaro Power Plant and its associated substations, alongside several borrow pits and pipelines. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling layout of the Marana Air Park, a site of significant local aviation history, situated near the Santa Cruz River and Los Robles Wash. Scattered ranching and industrial markers like Meeks Ranch, Double Tank, and the Marana Air Park Interchange reflect a mix of traditional land use and modern transit development. Local roads such as Sasco Road and Park Link Drive provide access through the valley, connecting small points of interest like Avra and Naviska.
