1996 Map of Bailey Peak

About this map

The Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation occupies much of this arid borderlands landscape, dominated by the prominent rising elevation of Bailey Peak. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial expanses like The Great Plain and desert valleys such as La Quituni Valley and Kom Vo Valley, which are divided by the volcanic profile of the Mesquite Mountains. This 1996 compilation also serves as a precise international record, showing the boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Arroyos and drainage networks, including San Simon Wash and Kuk Chikut Wash, trace the seasonal flow of water through the Sonoran Desert. The map includes parts of the southern Mexican landscape, identifying features such as C. El Conejo south of the border line.
