About this map

The northern reaches of Tucson meet the dramatic rise of the Santa Catalina Mountains in this early 1990s record. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the residential grids of Flowing Wells and Casas Adobes to the protected peaks of the Coronado National Forest. This era shows the suburban expansion pushing toward Oro Valley, while the Rillito River serves as a natural corridor through the developing desert floor.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including the large Evergreen Cemetery and Holy Hope, alongside the specialized Animal Cem. Significant leisure and sporting landmarks of the time are clearly marked, such as the Rillito Downs Racetrack and various golf courses. The wilderness boundary is well-defined, showing the proximity of the Pusch Ridge Wilderness and landmarks like Mt Kimball to the urban edge.
