Section 17: In 1941 scientist studied saguaros in a one-mile-square section 17 to determine if a contagious disease was killing saguaros in the park’s “Cactus Forest” area. Saguaros were mapped, measured and monitored. Seventy years later, in 2011 there was a re-survey of section 17 to study long-term changes in saguaros.
