Continental is a populated place located about 25 mi (40 km) south of Tucson, in Pima County, Arizona, United States, near the town of Sahuarita and the retirement community of Green Valley. Once a center for cotton production, Continental is now nearly surrounded by large pecan orchards and Green Valley subdivisions. It is also the closest town to Madera Canyon, a premier birdwatching area and tourist attraction located in the Santa Rita Mountains.[1][2][3]
