2021 Map of San Xavier Mission

About this map

Santa Cruz Valley and the Avra Valley define this landscape south of Tucson, where the high desert terrain is punctuated by the prominent rise of Black Mtn. This modern survey reveals a complex network of infrastructure and community life on the edge of the Sonoran Desert. Large-scale water management is visible through the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, which cuts across the landscape, while the local cultural history is anchored by sites like San Xavier Cem and Monte Calvario Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the growing residential grid extending from the city, including numerous named roads such as W Hermans Rd and W Los Reales Rd, showing the transition from urban sprawl to the open basin and range geography that characterizes Pima County.
