About this map

Kom Kug, Nachi Kulik, and Sapano Vaya are among the scattered settlements that define this arid desert landscape within the Chukut Kuk District. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a region reliant on a network of man-made water sources, including Coyote Tank, Saguaro Tank, and Papago Tank. These vital landmarks support life in a terrain carved by ephemeral drainages such as Coyote Wash and Los Encinos Wash.

The topography is dominated by the prominence of Caponera Peak and the deep relief of Coyote Canyon and Presumido Canyon. To the west, the settlement of Newfield sits at the edge of this complex drainage system, while Buenos Aires marks the southern reach. The map illustrates a traditional landscape where travel is dictated by natural features like Coyote Pass, connecting isolated outposts through a desert environment of washes and tanks.
