Excerpt from An Evaluation of Hydrologic and Riparian Resources in Saguaro National Park, Tucson, Arizona Saguaro National Park in Tucson, Arizona encompasses two geographically distinct areas: Rincon Mountain District and Tucson Mountain District. Of the two, only the Rincon Mountain District (park) has significant riparian habitat due to Tanque Verde Ridge, which reaches 2641 meters in elevation. The higher elevations in this area receive more precipitation than the basin floor and the Tucson Mountain District area. The runofi' from the precipitation infiltrates the alluvial materials covering the floors of the washes draining Tanque Verde Ridge and sustains riparian corridors in the middle reaches of Tanque Verde and Rincon Creeks. The scope of this study includes Rincon Creek, its tributary riparian areas and Tanque Verde Creek riparian tributary areas within or immediately adjacent to the Park (mac Nish and Guertin, Both of these creeks have riparian resources that will likely be impacted by proposed development adjacent to the Park boundaries. The Rincon Creek watershed is located in Rincon Valley on the southwest side of the Rincon Mountains. It is formed by Tanque Verde Ridge and Mica Mountain to the north and Rincon Peak to the east and drains about hectares. The Rincon Creek drainage area covers about one third of the Rincon Mountain District. Approximately one half of the Rincon Creek watershed lies within Saguaro National Park, while a small portion on the eastern end is located in Coronado National Forest (briggs et al., Rincon Creek drains a large portion of the southwestern side of the Rincon Mountains and borders Saguaro National Park along its southern edge (figure It flows almost due west through the Rincon Valley to its confluence with Pantano Wash. Short reaches of Rincon, Madrona, and Chimenea Creeks flow from park land, across private land and enter the Park's expansion area (briggs et al., Within the expansion area, Rincon Creek is intermittent or ephemeral. However, the high groundwater table in portions of the expansion area supports good quality riparian habitat along its banks.
