2018 Map of Burro Gap

About this map

Burro Gap serves as a central passage through a landscape dominated by the arid basins and ranges of southern Arizona. This 2018 survey illustrates a region where life and travel are dictated by the desert floor, with the Pozo Redondo Valley and the Valley of the Ajo providing the primary lowlands. Modern infrastructure is represented by the straight path of Pipeline Rd, which cuts across the southern portion of the sheet. The terrain is defined by the proximity of the Sauceda Mountains, the Batamote Mountains, and the Sikort Chuapo Mountains, while ephemeral water features like Tenmile Wash and Sikort-Chuapo Wash provide a record of how water moves through this part of Pima County during seasonal rains.
