The Casa Grande, Arizona graticule encompasses its namesake city as well as the western edge and suburbs of Tucson. Saguaro National Park is entirely located within the graticule, as are Tucson Mountain Park and the Ironwood Forest national monument. It is traversed from southeast to northwest by Interstate 10, with Interstate 8 branching off in the northwest corner. Away from this corridor, much of the graticule is remote desert that can be difficult to get to.
