2014 Map of Aguirre Peak

About this map

Aguirre Peak and the surrounding high ridges of the Baboquivari Mountains dominate this 2014 landscape, which transitions into the broad sweep of the Baboquivari Valley to the west. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and prominent summits, including Lalo Peak and the striking Three Peaks. Human settlement in this arid environment is concentrated in small communities like Chutum Vaya, Kuit Vaya, and Utevak, which are linked by unpaved tracks crossing the desert floor. The intricate network of seasonal waterways, such as Chutum Vaya Wash, Pozo Hondo Wash, and Asolido Wash, underscores the hydrological patterns of the Sonoran desert. Strategic gaps through the mountain range, notably Deadman Pass and North Pass, serve as established transit points between the valley and the canyons of the eastern slopes, including Leyvas Canyon and Coyote Canyon.
