Copper Pamphlet produced by Tucson Chamber of Commerce, SAGU257, Box 1, Folder 11, WACC. “In a canon near the deserted mission of Cocospera, Cereus giganteus was first met with. The first specimen brought the whole party to a halt. Standing alone upon a rocky projection, it rose in a single unbranched column to the height of some thirty feet, and formed a sight which seemed almost worth the journey to behold. Advancing into the canon, specimens became more numerous, until at length the whole vegetation was, in places, made up of this and other Cacaceae. Description can convey no adequate idea of this singular vegetation, at once so grand and dreary. The Opuntia arborescens and Cereus Thurberi, which had before been regarded with wonder, now seemed insignificant in comparison with the giant Cactus which towered far above.” George Thurber, 1855, Boundary Commission Report.1 Table of Contents 1 Asa Gray, ―Plantae Novae Thurberianae: The Characters of Some New Genera and Species of Plants in a Collection Made by George Thurber, Esq., of the Late Mexican Boundary ii List of Illustrations v List of Maps ix Introduction Crowning the Queen of the Desert 1 The Question of Social Value and Intrinsically Valuable Landscapes Two Districts with a Shared History Chapter 1 Uncertain Pathways to a Saguaro National Monument, 1912-1933 9 Saguaros and the Sonoran Desert A Forest of Saguaros Discovering

One’s first impression may be of size and distance—broad valleys rimmed by mountain ranges, with a huge sky arching over all. However, a closer look reveals that, beneath the broad brush strokes, this is a land of astonishing variety. For example, it is comprised of several kinds of desert, year-round flowing streams, and sky island mountain ranges.

  • Descriptions of Important Historic Sites
    Appendix A DESCRIPTIONS OF IMPORTANT HISTORIC SITES This list of some of the most important historic sites or properties (buildings, structures, and districts), within the proposed Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area includes: (1) all National Historic Landmarks; (2) selected properties currently listed on the National and State Registers of Historic Places; (3) selected properties that are unlisted but are likely eligible for inclusion in the National and State Registers; and (4) selected properties with local significance. The properties in Pima County were identified in 2002 as Priority Historic Sites for the cultural resources element of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (Pima County 2002). The properties in Santa Cruz County were identified in a 2004 inventory conducted for this Feasibility Study by the University of Arizona Preservation Studies Program. This combined list does not include every property currently listed on the National and State Registers. It is a small sample of the historic properties with national, state, and local significance in this region, and it can be expanded in the future. 10 COTTAGES ON SHORT STREET, NRHP Short Street Nogales (Early 1900s) These 10 concrete cottages were built as modest worker’s housing early in the twentieth century. They are significant to the Nogales area because they are the only examples of cast-in-place concrete construction in the residential sector. They are uniquely situated on a hillside, with a central stairway access servicing the units. The cottages feature exposed rafters and corrugated steel sheathed gabled roofs.
