Tucson SE Arizona Rita Ranch Littletown USGS Topo Map 1980

$35

This USGS 7.5-minute topographic map is a 1968 edition printed in 1980, in very good condition on thick stock, lightly handled and never folded. It takes in the southeast side of Tucson in Pima County, with the quad area including Rita Ranch, the Pima County Fairgrounds, and the small community of Littletown. Drawn from 1966 and 1968 aerial and field surveys, it records this stretch of the Tucson basin before the wide suburban buildout that later reached Rita Ranch, and the flawless map area and never-folded sheet make it a strong candidate for framing.
