    Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Evaluation Report Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Area Evaluation [PW-05-03-D2-001] Area Overview Size and Location: The Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Area (PWA) encompasses 37,330 acres. This area is located in the Tumacacori and Atacosa Mountains, which are part of the Nogales Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest in southeastern Arizona (see Map 4 at the end of this document). The Tumacacori PWA is overlapped by 30,305 acres of the Tumacacori Inventoried Roadless Area, comprising 81 percent of the PWA. Vicinity, Surroundings and Access: The Tumacacori Potential Wilderness Area is approximately 50 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona. The Tumacacori PWA is centrally located within the mountain range and encompasses an area from Sardina and Tumacacori Peaks at the northern end to Ruby Road at the southern end and from the El Paso Natural Gas Line on the eastern side to Arivaca Lake on its western side. The PWA is adjacent to the Pajarita Wilderness Area, Arivaca Lake and Peña Blanca Lake. Both Pena Blanca and Arivaca Lakes are managed by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Interstate 19 (I-19) connects the Tucson metropolitan area to the City of Nogales and the incorporated community of Sahuarita. The unincorporated communities of Green Valley, Arivaca Junction-Amado, Tubac, Tumacacori-Carmen and Rio Rico, Arizona and Sonora, Mexico are within close proximity to the eastern side of the Tumacacori Mountains and the PWA. State Highway 289 provides access from I-19 across private and National Forest System lands into the Tumacacori Ecosystem Management Area to Peña Blanca Lake and Ruby Road (NFS Road 39).

Under this act, the Arizona Bureau of Mines, created in 1915, was renamed and reorganized and its mission was redefined and expanded. The Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology, a Division of the University of Arizona administered by the Arizona Board of Regents, is charged by the Legislature to conduct research and provide information about the geologic setting of the State, including its mineral and energy resources, its natural attributes, and its natural hazards and limitations. In order to carry out these functions, the Bureau is organized into two branches: Geological Survey Branch. Staff members conduct research, do geologic mapping, collect data, and provide information about the geologic setting of the State to: a) assist in developing an understanding of the geologic factors that influ ence the locations of metallic, non-metallic, and mineral fuel resources in Arizona, and b) assist in developing an understanding of the geologic materials and pro cesses that control or limit human activities in the state.

  • Mineral Potential of Eastern Pima County, Arizona
    MINERAL POTENTIAL OF EASTERN PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA by Southwestern Minerals Exploration Association Tucson, Arizona July 15, 2001 ARIZONA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CONTRIBUTED REPORT 01-B This report was written under the direction of Charles P. Miller, Coordinator for the Sonoran Desert Conservation Project, with contributions by: Russell Corn Jonathan DuHamel Dirk Den-Baars Ted Eyde Richard Hahman Grover Heinrichs James Loghry Kenneth Lovstrom Robert Metz James Sell Southwestern Minerals Exploration Association Tucson, Arizona July 15, 2001 PREAMBLE As a result of the large contribution of minerals to national, regional, and local economies, resource assessment in support of land-use planning is one of the most consequential activities to be performed. Decisions made today will affect society for generations to come. Resource Science, Inc. 1994 Land-use planners are increasingly required to respond to land-use conflicts between mineral industries and alternative land uses. In resolving these conflicts, planners seek to be responsive to current and future needs of society when choosing between varied, alternative land uses. Land-use planning, however, has increasingly become a resolution of competing ideologies, and land-use planners are struggling to acquire the objective information necessary to make informed decisions. An increased understanding of natural science has proven useful in this regard. If proposed land- uses can be cast within a holistic model of the natural world, then more informed decisions are possible. This report seeks to convey to land-use planners an essential piece of information, an inventory of mineral resource potential across eastern Pima County. Mineral production has always been viewed as an essential industry, not only to generate wealth and provide employment, but also for the array of products that are consumed by a society.
