About this map

Tucson serves as the focal point of this Southern Arizona landscape, appearing at a pivotal moment of mid-century expansion. The city is flanked by the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Rincon Mountains, with the Santa Cruz River valley providing a lifeline through the arid basin. Military and aviation infrastructure are prominent, from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the Tucson Municipal Airport to the Marana Air Base further northwest.
