2011 Map of Cimarron Peak

About this map

Emika and Tatai Toak anchor this high-desert landscape in Pima County, where the topography is defined by the prominent Cimarron Peak and Roadrunner Mountain. The area’s geography is shaped by the ephemeral drainage of Hickiwan Wash, which threads through the arid terrain. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by Indian Rte 13, which runs north-south through the western portion of the quadrangle, and Pipeline Rd, cutting diagonally across the northern reaches. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern configuration of rural roads and land use in this specific corner of the Sonoran desert before subsequent developments. The sparse settlement pattern around these named sites provides a clear look at the spatial relationship between isolated peaks and the seasonal watercourses that define the region.
