About this map

Quijotoa Mountains and the northern reaches of South Mountain define the desert landscape of this portion of the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation. The terrain is marked by an extensive history of resource extraction, centered around Ben Nevis Mountain. Mining activity is recorded through numerous Mine Shafts, Adits, and specific operations such as the Quijotoa Mine and Weldon Mine. Near the center of the range, Ben Lomond Mines sits tucked within the high ridges.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of the San Antone Well and the settlement at Plato Vaya. The transition from the rugged peaks to the western flatlands is captured through landmarks like Black Butte and the wide expanse of the Quijotoa Valley. Cultural and geographic markers such as Ka Kotk and Piato Vaya Pass provide further context for navigating this Pima County landscape.
