1981 Map of Vail

About this map

The settlement of Vail serves as the focal point of this 1981 survey, positioned at the junction where the Southern Pacific tracks meet the early suburban expansion of the Rincon Valley. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Pantano Wash and Cienega Creek, which have historically dictated the placement of transit routes and early cattle operations. Long-standing ranching traditions are evident at the Rocking K Ranch and La Posta Quemada Ranch, while the inclusion of the Santa Rita Shrine and a local Cem offers touchpoints for genealogical research in this portion of Pima County.
