1983 Map of Tucson

About this map

The University of Arizona and the downtown core of Tucson anchor this mid-1980s landscape, illustrating a decade of significant urban expansion. The dense street grid, centered around major thoroughfares like Speedway and Broadway, gives way to the industrial and military presence of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the Southern Pacific rail lines. To the west, the distinctive profile of Sentinel Peak, also labeled A Mountain, stands over the Santa Cruz River, which serves as a geographic boundary for settlements like the Pascua Yaqui Indian Village.
