About this map

The urban footprint of Tucson and South Tucson dominates the western portion of this 1994 survey, hemmed in by the massive protected landscapes of Saguaro National Monument and the Coronado National Forest. In the valley, the Southern Pacific railroad remains a primary transit artery, passing through rail-connected points like Wilmot, Esmond, and Vail. The San Xavier Indian Reservation and the sprawling Davis Monthan Air Force Base mark significant institutional and tribal land holdings that have shaped the city's growth patterns.

Moving east, the landscape transitions into the desert solitude of the San Pedro Valley. Here, small settlements like Redington, Cascabel, and Pomerene dot the banks of the San Pedro River, contrasting with the high peaks of the Rincon Mountains and Galiuro Mountains. The map also identifies the Arizona State Prison Complex Tucson, reflecting the state's modern administrative footprint in the Pima County desert.
