2021 Map of Bailey Peak

About this map

The international border between the United States Of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos and Mexico runs through the southern reaches of this landscape, a region defined by arid basins and isolated peaks in Pima County. The settlement of Shaotkam sits at the foot of the hills, where the drainage of the Chukut Kuk Wash meets the desert floor. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Mesquite Mountains and culminates at Bailey Peak, overlooking the broad expanses of the La Quituni Valley and The Great Plain. This modern survey illustrates the persistent drainage patterns of the San Simon Wash and the complex topography of the Kom Vo Valley, showing how contemporary mapping continues to document the vital water courses and desert landmarks that have defined travel and settlement in this borderland territory for generations.
