1957 Map of Tucson North

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Rillito Creek divides the northward expansion of Tucson from the rugged slopes of the Coronado National Forest, where peaks like Mt. Kimball and Pusch Peak tower over the desert floor. The map documents a period of rapid suburbanization in the mid-1950s and mid-1970s, as the urban grid pushed toward the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. This growth is evidenced by a dense network of educational and religious institutions, including Amphitheater High School, Salpointe High School, and the Academy of the Sacred Heart.
