1957 Map of Tubac
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Tumacacori National Monument and the surrounding ranching landscape define this 1950s record of the Santa Cruz River valley. The Southern Pacific railroad and the Tucson Nogales Highway serve as the primary north-south corridors, connecting settlements like Amado and Carmen. This era reveals a sophisticated network of water management in the arid terrain, indicated by numerous features such as Sardina Well, Papalote Well, and Sardina Dam. The map's detail extends into the San Cayetano Mountains and onto private landholdings like the Maria Baca Grant (Float No 3). Educational history is preserved through the locations of the Sopori Sch and Calabasas Sch, while the presence of scattered prospects and shafts near Diablito Mtn points to the area's legacy of mineral exploration.
