2014 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Helmet Peak and Mineral Hill dominate the skyline of this Pima County landscape, where the traditional settlement of San Xavier meets modern aviation and suburban expansion. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage channels, including Marjorie Wash, Rodolfo Wash, and Angelica Wash, which cut through the high desert floor between prominent elevations like Whitcomb Hill and the double-peaked Twin Buttes. Aviation is a central theme in this 2014 survey, which documents the Flying Diamond Airport and the Ruby Star Airpark alongside the growing residential grids of Sahuarita and Green Valley. Notable cultural landmarks include the Twin Buttes Cem and the intriguing label for Indian Kitchen, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the evolution of the Santa Cruz Valley region.
