2014 Map of Vail

About this map

Vail and the surrounding desert landscape are captured here as residential growth extends south of Saguaro National Park. The map details the transition from the protected wilderness of the park into the planned communities of Rincon Valley and Loma Alta. Significant local landmarks include the Vail Childrens' Cem and the Rincon Congregational Church Columbarium, providing valuable data for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the winding courses of Cienega Cr and Pantano Wash, which contrast with the steep elevations of Pisto Hill and Posta Quemada Canyon. The presence of the Esmond railroad site and the Arizona National Scenic Trail highlights the area's dual identity as a transportation corridor and a recreational destination during the early twenty-first century.
