About this map

Rincon Peak and the high desert summits of the Rincon Mountains dominate this 2014 survey of Pima County. The map details a landscape defined by the transition from the low-lying Rincon Valley to the protected wilderness of Saguaro National Park and Coronado National Forest. This region is a critical watershed for the desert below, evidenced by numerous named water sources such as Bear Wallow Spring, Aliso Spring, and Lion Spring that feed into Agua Verde Cr.

Lower elevations show more recent habitation and infrastructure, including the Arizona National Scenic Trail winding through the western foothills. Notable named features like Harrington Place and the evocative Valley of the Moon suggest the varied history of ranching and land use. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Cienega Cr and transportation corridors such as E Marsh Station Rd, showing the connectivity of this mountainous terrain to the surrounding county.
