- Abstract
The article explores the history of the Green Valley retirement community in the Santa Cruz Valley of southern Arizona developed by builder Don Maxon. The author reflects on the architecture and construction of the community by the Maxon Corporation that reflect an appreciation of desert landscapes. Emphasis is given to topics such as the promotion of the community through photographs, the proximity of copper mines, odors from a nearby feedlot, and the lack of any Mexican presence.
