About this map

Buenos Aires and Newfield sit at the southern edge of this Arizona landscape, positioned just north of the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition from the flat plains in the west to the high elevations of the Baboquivari Mountains and the Pozo Verde Mountains in the east. Scattered settlements like Kom Kug, Sapano Vaya, and Nachi Kulik are linked by local roads that navigate the complex topography.

Water management is a central theme in this arid environment, evidenced by the numerous tanks such as Coyote Tank, Saguaro Tank, and Papago Tank that dot the foothills. These features, along with drainage systems like Coyote Wash and Los Encinos Wash, highlight the critical infrastructure required for survival and ranching in the Chukut Kuk District. Dramatic landforms like Caponera Peak and Coyote Pass provide natural landmarks for navigating the canyons and mountain passes near the border.
