2018 Map of Bailey Peak

About this map

The international boundary between the United States Of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos defines the southern edge of this desert landscape, where the settlement of Shaotkam sits at the foot of rising ridges. The terrain is characterized by the prominent elevation of Bailey Peak and the southern reaches of the Mesquite Mountains, which overlook the expansive desert floor. Two primary drainages, San Simon Wash and Chukut Kuk Wash, course through the basin, illustrating the natural water management of the Sonoran region. To the east, the map reveals the broad expanse of The Great Plain and the opening of Kom Vo Valley, highlighting a geography where isolated peaks give way to wide alluvial basins. This 2018 survey captures the intersection of natural desert topography and the geopolitical line of the border, providing an exact record of roads and watercourses in the Chukut Kuk District.
