About this map

Aguirre Peak rises as a central landmark in this desert landscape of Pima County, anchoring a terrain defined by the dramatic ridges of the Baboquivari Mountains. To the west, the land transitions into the Baboquivari Valley, a broad expanse marked by drainage systems like Chutum Vaya Wash and Asolido Wash. The map records a sparse network of settlements, including Utevak, Chutum Vaya, and Kuit Vaya, which reflect the localized human geography of this arid region.

The presence of high mountain passes and deep canyons, such as Deadman Pass, North Pass, and Coyote Canyon, suggests historical transit routes through the rugged peaks. Features like Lalo Peak and the Three Peaks offer specific points of reference for those navigating the eastern heights. This map documents the persistent layout of isolated desert communities and the natural hydrology of the washes during the early twenty-first century.
