2014 Map of Chico Shunie

About this map

The settlement of Chico Shunie sits at the center of this arid landscape, surrounded by the prominent elevations of the Chico Shunie Hills. In this southwestern corner of Pima County, the terrain is defined by the sharp rises of the Little Ajo Mountains to the north and the John the Baptist Mountains to the south. Distinctive landmarks such as Ajo Peak, Cardigan Peak, and Camelback Mtn provide essential navigational reference points across the desert. Water management in this dry environment is evident through features like Little Tule Tank, Camerons Stock Tank, and several arroyos including Gibson and Daniels Arroyo. The road network is sparse, with S Ballestero Ranch Rd and Greenway Cross connecting the outskirts of the larger Ajo community to the more remote desert reaches.
