1957 Map of Rincon Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Saguaro National Monument and the Tanque Verde Mountains dominate the northern half of this Pima County landscape, where desert washes meet the high peaks of the Rincon Mountains. The 1957 field survey captures a transition from high-altitude wilderness at Manning Camp and Spud Rock to the developing valleys below. Transportation and ranching history are evident along the southern corridor, where the Southern Pacific railroad and a major pipeline parallel the Aqua Verde Creek. Settlement is concentrated at Vail and the nearby Mountain View, while several ranches like N Lazy H Ranch and Day Ranch are scattered throughout the lower terrain. The map also highlights local landmarks such as Colossal Cave County Park and the high Happy Valley Lookout, which provided critical fire surveillance over the Coronado National Forest.
