About this map

The Rincon Valley serves as a transition between the desert floor and the rising uplands of Saguaro National Park. This 2021 survey shows a landscape of modern residential expansion interwoven with deep-cut desert drainages like Pantano Wash and Cienega Cr. Near the settlement of Vail, the map documents local sites of genealogical interest, including the Vail Childrens Cem and the Rincon Memorial Cem further north.

Transport and topography are key themes here, as the Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion, crossing Posta Quemada Canyon and Davidson Canyon. The growth of Tucson is evident in the dense network of roads, such as Old Spanish Trail and Valencia Road, which connect established communities like Mountain View and Loma Alta to the surrounding natural features like Pisto Hill.
