1996 Map of Coffeepot Mountain

About this map

Tohono O'Odham Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-1990s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by sharp topographical rises and desert floor drainage. The Sauceda Mountains form a prominent central spine, anchored by the distinct peak of Coffeepot Mountain. Along the eastern edge, the topography descends into the Hickiwan Valley, where seasonal water flow is traced by the Hickiwan Wash. Settlement is sparse and focused on the northeastern reaches near Stoa Pitk. Here, the presence of a Cemetery and Graves suggests long-term localized habitation, while infrastructure like a Pipeline, a Water Tank, and a Drill Hole point to modern resource management. Southwest of the mountains, a Corral and a Guzzler mark the subtle human impact on this arid environment, providing essential context for land use and ranching history in Pima County.
