2014 Map of Chiuli Shaik

About this map

Chiuli Shaik and Pitoikam sit within a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of the Baboquivari Mountains and the Wasatch Range. This 2014 survey captures the complex network of ephemeral waterways, including Fresnal Wash, Topawa Wash, and Baboquivari Wash, which dictate the topography of this region in Pima County. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural features like Fresnal Hill and Sycamore Canyon with the established route of Bia-10. Local landmarks such as Kahachi Miliuk are positioned against a backdrop of deep canyons and seasonal washes, illustrating how the geography influences the placement of small settlements and transportation corridors. The detailed contouring reveals the transition from the high peaks of the Baboquivari Mountains down through Fresnal Canyon and out toward the alluvial plains of the western desert.
