Comprising numerous individually-owned parcels, the district is located in the south half of Section 21 and the north half of the north half of the south half of Section 28, and the northwest quarter of Section 27 of Township 13S, Range 14E depicted on the Tucson North USGS Quadrangle of the Gila and Salt River Baseline and Meridian.

Most of the district, including the south and central portions, lies in the flat, active floodplain of the bank-protected Rillito River, which curves to form much of the south and west boundaries, and Finger Rock Wash, which penetrates into the heart from the east. Rich soil has accumulated here from the watershed alluvia, creating what the district's first Mormon settlers called "the fertile valley between the river and the foothills." The northern portions of the district incorporate hilly, natural desert terrain on the first alluvial terrace below the Catalina Mountain foothills. River Road, a scenic, historic east-west route along the north side of the Rillito River, is the major roadway passing
