1996 Map of Ruelas Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Tortolita Mountain Park dominates the northern high ground of this Pima County landscape, where deep incisions like Ruelas Canyon and Cochie Canyon drain toward the southwest. The terrain transitions from these steep mountain flanks into a structured grid of residential development and suburban infrastructure. The growing community of Oro Valley occupies the southeastern corner, bordered by Cañada del Oro, while the southwestern reaches are defined by the Santa Cruz River corridor. Evidence of the area's mid-century utility and recreation is visible in the Landing Strip, several Golf Courses, and Arthur Pack Regional Park. Local history and genealogy researchers will find specific landmarks such as a Cem near the river and various Prospects in the foothills, reflecting both the spiritual and industrial footprints of earlier inhabitants in the Sonoran desert.
