About this map

Cocoraque Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Pima County, anchoring a terrain defined by arid slopes and vital water catchment systems. The map illustrates a ranching economy reliant on scattered tanks such as Cat Tank, Ramon Tank, and Batamote Tank, which serve the local cattle operations. Human activity is centered around established sites like Cocoraque Ranch, Garcia Ranch, and Donaldson Ranch, connected by primitive roads like W Cocoraque Ranch Rd.

In the western portion of the survey, the Roskruge Mountains and Recortado Mountain provide significant elevation, while the eastern section opens into the Altar Valley. The hydrology of the area is dominated by Brawley Wash, which collects runoff from numerous smaller drainages. This cartographic study provides a detailed record of land use in the Schuk Toak District, where the desert floor is crisscrossed by namesake trails and roads like W Sundance Trl and W Mile Wide Rd.
