About this map

The eastern edges of Tucson reveal a complex drainage system where the Tanque Verde Wash and Agua Caliente Wash converge near the community of Tanque Verde. This 2014 survey documents the suburban expansion of Pima County, showing the proximity of established neighborhoods like Vandenberg Village and Littletown to the expansive Davis Monthan Air Force Base. The land is defined by a network of seasonal washes, including Kinnison Wash and Atterbury Wash, which cut through the developing landscape toward the Pantano Wash.

Educational and industrial landmarks appear throughout the grid, such as Tucson Coll and the HDS Truck Driving Institute near Rankin. To the east, the sustainable development of Civano stands near the base of Twin Hills, illustrating the intersection of modern desert living and the natural topography of the Sonoran Desert. The map also includes All Faiths Memorial Park, a significant local landmark for genealogical research.
