2021 Map of Ajo South

About this map

Mexican Town and Rowood anchor the northern edge of this landscape where the desert meets industrial mining history near the Little Ajo Mountains. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Concentrator Hill, Arkansas Mtn, and the distinctive Locomotive Rock, overlooking the expansive Valley of the Ajo. This area reveals a classic Sonoran water management network, featuring named catchments like Eberling Tank and Hotshot Tank along with ephemeral drainages such as Gunsight Wash and Rio Cornez. The road network, including Indian Village Rd and the Scenic Loop, traces the contours of the high ground, while the long-distance Pipeline Rd cuts across the northern flats. These labels reflect the localized settlement patterns and water reliance of Pima County's arid southwestern reaches.
