2018 Map of Aguirre Peak

About this map

Aguirre Peak and the high ridges of the Baboquivari Mountains dominate this 2018 survey of Pima County's high desert. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality and drainage systems, where seasonal water follows the paths of Chutum Vaya Wash and Asolido Wash toward the Baboquivari Valley to the west. Sparse settlements like Chutum Vaya, Kuit Vaya, and Utevak sit at the transition between the valley floor and the rising slopes. Navigation through this complex terrain relies on established corridors such as Deadman Pass and North Pass, which cut through the mountain chain. The map provides a look at the physical geography of the Tohono O'odham Nation land, documenting numerous named landforms including Bear Canyon, Leyvas Canyon, and the distinct summit of Lalo Peak.
