About this map

Pima Community College East Campus and the eastern residential expansion of Tucson anchor this detailed 2021 survey of Pima County. The map captures a diverse urban and desert landscape defined by ephemeral drainage systems like Pantano Wash, Atterbury Wash, and Julian Wash, which thread through the eastern neighborhoods. Established residential developments such as Kingston Knolls Terrace, Vandenberg Village, and Civano show the modern layout of the city's outskirts, while the sprawling Davis Monthan Air Force Base dominates the southwestern portion of the sheet.

Institutional and community landmarks are clearly marked, including the All Faiths Memorial Park and the Prayer Garden and Columbarium. The eastern edge of the map rises toward Twin Hills, showing the transition from the grid-based streets of the valley floor to more winding desert roads. This record is particularly valuable for documenting the 21st-century footprint of outlying areas like Rankin and Littletown amidst a complex network of washes and modern infrastructure.
