2011 Map of Armenta Well

About this map

Armenta Well serves as a lone point of human settlement in this arid reach of Pima County, positioned within a landscape defined by ephemeral drainage networks. The map details the intricate patterns of Kuakatch Wash and Cuerda de Lena as they weave across the desert floor toward the northern boundaries of Organ Pipe Cactus Natl Monument. In the northeast corner, the presence of Gunsight Wash provides a distinct geographic marker near the modern roadway. This 2011 survey reflects the enduring spatial relationship between vital water sources like the well and the natural desert washes that dictate the terrain's layout in this protected region of southern Arizona.
