1979 Map of Caponera Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation dominates this desert landscape, where the Baboquivari Mountains meet the Baboquivari Valley along the international border between the United States and Mexico. The map records several habitation sites and ruins that speak to the long human presence in this arid region, including Nachi Kulik, Newfield, and the Buenos Aires Ruins. Former settlement locations such as Kom Kug (Site) and Sapano Vaya (Site) are noted alongside a small Cem (cemetery), indicating established communities that relied on scarce water sources. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by a network of tanks and wells like Saguaro Tank, Chona Tank, and Hendricks Well. These features, connected by a Jeep Trail, illustrate the vital infrastructure required for ranching and residency in the high desert of Pima County.
