About this map

Vail and the surrounding high-desert landscape southeast of Tucson are documented in this 2018 survey, which shows a mix of rural ranch lands and modern suburban expansion. The northern edge of the map is defined by the boundary of Saguaro National Park, where the terrain transitions into the foothills of the Rincon Mountains. Key local landmarks include the Rincon Memorial Cem in the north and the Vail Childrens Cem further south near the burgeoning town center.

The hydrology of the area is dominated by seasonal drainage systems like Pantano Wash and Cienega Cr, which carve through the basin. Large-scale ranching history is still visible through dozens of named private roads and ranch properties, such as the Triangle F Ranch Pl and S Rincon Valley Ranch Rd. The eastern portion of the map is characterized by more dramatic topography, including Posta Quemada Canyon and Davidson Canyon.
