2014 Map of Bailey Peak

About this map

Shaotkam stands at the southern edge of the Pima Co desert landscape, situated where the road Bia-18 meets the expansive drainage of the San Simon Wash. This 2014 survey captures a section of the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos, showing the precise line where Arizona meets Sonora. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Mesquite Mountains and the prominent Bailey Peak, which overlook the surrounding basins of La Quituni Valley and Kom Vo Valley. To the southeast, the land levels out into the broad reaches of The Great Plain, a landscape sculpted by seasonal watercourses like the Chukut Kuk Wash. The map documents the vital infrastructure of the Chukut Kuk District, focused on the primary artery of Bia-18 as it navigates the arid valleys and mountain passes near the border.
