2011 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

San Xavier and the surrounding desert landscape south of Tucson appear here in the early 21st century, defined by a complex network of ranch roads and dry washes. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Mineral Hill, White Hill, and Helmet Peak, which overlook a drainage system including Marjorie Wash and Rodolfo Wash. The map reveals a transition from traditional land use at Ruby-Star Ranch to modern aviation developments at Flying Diamond Airport and Ruby Star Airpark. Local history and genealogy interests are centered near the southern landmark of Twin Buttes, where the Twin Buttes Cemetery sits adjacent to McGee Ranch Rd. The presence of Indian Kitchen and Punta del Agua suggests long-standing sites of significance amidst the arid environment of Pima County.
