1996 Map of Tanque Verde Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Tanque Verde Peak serves as the prominent summit overlooking a landscape where suburban expansion meets the conservation boundaries of the Saguaro National Park and the Saguaro Wilderness. In the mid-1990s, the western edge of this area shows the structured residential grids of Twin Hills and developments along Speedway Road and Broadway, while the eastern portion remains dominated by the high ridges of the Rincon Mountains. The cultural history of the land is preserved through markers like Tanque Verde Ranch, Thunderhead Ranch, and the Hope Camp area. This terrain transitions sharply from the riparian corridors of Tanque Verde Wash and Pantano Wash to the high desert peaks, with water management evidenced by numerous catchment tanks such as Aguila Tank and Tina Larga Tank.
