1981 Map of Sahuarita
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Santa Cruz Valley defines this portion of Pima County, showing a landscape shaped by industrial mining, military operations, and rapid residential growth in the early 1980s. The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the valley floor, connecting the settlement of Sahuarita and the developing community of Green Valley to the south. Significant land use patterns are visible through the presence of the Sahuarita Air Force Range to the east and the sprawling Santa Rita Experimental Range and Wildlife Area. The infrastructure of the local economy is clearly marked by features such as the Duval Mine Road and several large Tailings Ponds and Gravel Pits, which indicate the region's copper and mineral extraction history. Educational and civic growth is evidenced by the Sahuarita High Sch and Anamax Park, providing a detailed record of the area's transition into a modern suburban hub.
