1934 Map of Tucson Mountains
USGS Topo · Published 1934About this map
The Papago Indian Reservation dominates the southwestern reaches of this landscape, where early 20th-century desert life was defined by isolated outposts like San Pedro Well and Maisi Ayra Ranch. To the east, the emerging corridor along the Santa Cruz River and Southern Pacific Railroad shows the established rail-side settlements of Marana, Rillito, and Cortaro. This compilation, drafted by N. H. Darton, illustrates the intersection of mountainous mining territory and valley agriculture, with the Arizona Group mines situated near the volcanic slopes of Beehive Mtn. On the periphery of Tucson, landmarks like St Marys Hospital and the Tumamoc Hills provide a clear view of the city's western edge before modern expansion. The map captures a transition as new infrastructure like the Highway to Ajo began to replace older desert tracks.
