1968 Map of San Xavier Mission

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The San Xavier del Bac Mission stands as the architectural anchor of this landscape, situated at the edge of the Santa Cruz Valley where the Santa Cruz River flows north toward Tucson. This late 1960s survey documents a region defined by the juxtaposition of historic spiritual sites and massive modern industrial activity. The southern portion of the San Xavier Indian Reservation is heavily marked by the copper mining industry, evidenced by the sprawling Tailings Ponds, Mine Dump, and the specialized infrastructure of the Pima Mine Railroad.
