2014 Map of Armenta Well

About this map

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument dominates the Sonoran desert landscape in this portion of Pima County, where drainage patterns define the arid environment. The map centers on the namesake Armenta Well, a critical water point for ranching and travel in this remote corridor. Several major seasonal watercourses, including Gunsight Wash, Cuerda de Lena, and Kuakatch Wash, carve through the terrain, indicating the flow of water from the Gunsight Hills in the northeast. The presence of Az-85 running north-to-south provides a primary modern artery through this historic borderlands region, illustrating the intersection of protected federal lands and state infrastructure.
