2014 Map of West of Avra

About this map

Picture Rocks and the western reaches of the Avra Valley define this landscape on the edge of the Tucson basin. The terrain is characterized by a network of ephemeral watercourses including Blanco Wash, Brawley Wash, and China Draw, which dictate the local topography and drainage patterns. A significant modern infrastructure feature, the Central Arizona Project Aqueduct, cuts across the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the critical water management systems required in this desert environment. Small-scale aviation and agricultural heritage are represented by Taylor Field, while family and ranching history is evidenced by specific road names such as W Garcia Ranch Rd and W Yankee Ranch Rd. The map also captures several local landmarks like BK Tank and the small residential footprint of Avra Valley.
