About this map

The San Xavier del Bac Mission anchors this mid-century survey of the land southwest of Tucson, where desert preservation and indigenous history intersect. The landscape is defined by the San Xavier Indian Reservation and the Papago Indian Reservation, which occupy the level ground south of the volcanic peaks. On the eastern edge of the Tucson Mountain Park, the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum highlight the area's significance for biological and environmental research.
