2014 Map of Big Horn
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Maricopa Mountains and the Sand Tank Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Maricopa County, characterized by prominent desert peaks and a network of ephemeral washes. The settlement of Big Horn sits along the northern edge of the quadrangle near the base of the mountains, while the interior is defined by notable landmarks such as Squaw Tits, Javelina Mtn, and Maricopa Peak. Water management in this dry environment is evidenced by features like Caesar Tank and the namesake Sand Tank. The drainage pattern is heavily influenced by Bender Wash, which carries seasonal runoff through the foothills. This 2014 survey documents the rugged topography of the region, providing a detailed record of the elevations and natural landmarks that define this portion of the Sonoran desert.
