2011 Map of West of Marana

About this map

Avra Valley serves as the central hub of this desert landscape west of Marana, where a structured grid of rural residential roads meets the natural path of the Santa Cruz River. The area is defined by a series of ephemeral watercourses, including the wide Los Robles Wash and Brawley Wash, which channel seasonal runoff toward the river. Smaller settlements like Naviska in the northeast and Dobson to the east highlight the sparse but organized habitation of Pima County at the start of the 2010s. The road network, including W Trico Marana Rd and W Silverbell Rd, provides access across the arid flats toward landmarks like China Draw. This map documents the intersection of modern agricultural development and the natural hydrology of the Sonoran Desert.
