About this map

Davis-Monthan Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this 1992 revision, its runways and hospital facility bordered by the Southern Pacific Railroad. The map captures the suburban expansion of eastern Tucson, where established residential pockets like Vandenberg Village and Littletown meet newer developments and major shopping hubs such as Oxford Plaza Shopping Center.

Ephemeral desert watercourses, including Pantano Wash and Agua Caliente Creek, carve through the grid of thoroughfares like Golf Links Road and Old Spanish Trail. This survey is particularly valuable for its record of municipal recreation, showing numerous neighborhood parks such as Jesse Owens Park and the specialized Pima Air Museum, providing a clear view of the city's growth into the desert floor just before the mid-1990s.
