About this map

The Tucson Corporate Boundary carves through this desert landscape during the early 1990s, revealing a region defined by large-scale institutional footprints and infrastructure. To the north, the southern reaches of Davis - Monthan Air Force Base and the Federal Correctional Institution occupy significant acreage, while the Arizona State Prison Complex - Tucson dominates the western edge near Nogales Vail Connection Road. This area shows the outward expansion of civil services, including the Sewage Disposal plant and the Nogales Substation.

Cultural and community life is concentrated at the County Fairgrounds and the adjacent Tucson Raceway Park, situated east of Rita Road. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents established residential pockets like Littletown and the area near Esmond, alongside multiple Mobile Home Park developments. The arid terrain is etched by drainage patterns like Julian Wash and Airport Wash, which navigate a landscape otherwise marked by utility corridors and numerous Borrow Pits.
