1962 Map of Tucson
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The city of Tucson serves as the central hub of this 1962 landscape, showing a period of significant military and industrial footprint in southern Arizona. The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the Sahuarita Bombing Range occupy large swaths of the desert floor, while the Southern Pacific RR connects major centers like Casa Grande and Eloy. The map documents numerous tribal settlements within the Papago Indian Reservation, such as Kohatk and Schuchk, alongside preservation areas like Saguaro National Monument and Casa Grande National Monument. Mining remains a primary driver of development, evidenced by the Silver Bell Mine and San Manuel Mine nestled in the surrounding ranges. The diverse topography ranges from the Santa Catalina Mountains to the expansive Aguirre Valley, illustrating the complex relationship between arid basins and the high timber of the Coronado National Forest.
