2014 Map of Diaz Peak

About this map

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, preserving a segment of the Sonoran Desert. The high elevations of the Ajo Range dominate the eastern portion of the sheet, featuring prominent landmarks such as Diaz Peak and Diaz Spire. These peaks overlook a network of seasonal watercourses like Stovi Shuatak Wash, which drain the mountainous terrain. The map also captures the Diablo Mountains in the north and the northern reaches of the Sierra de Santa Rosa to the south. Human imprints are sparse in this protected area, though essential desert infrastructure is noted at Cement Tank and the route through Sweetwater Pass. The topography illustrates the stark transition between the steep volcanic ranges and the alluvial basins typical of southern Pima County.
