2011 Map of Gu Vo

About this map

The settlement of Gu Vo sits at the intersection of several critical desert thoroughfares, including Indian Rte-1 and Indian Rte-28, which navigate the arid terrain of the Tohono O'odham Nation. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of Gu Vo Wash and Pia Oik Wash, both of which trend generally westward across the high desert floor. The topographical relief is dominated by the Gu Vo Hills in the southeast and the strategic Gu Vo Pass, providing a natural corridor into the Tonoka Valley. The sparse arrangement of infrastructure highlights the isolation of this corner of Pima County, where travel is dictated by the few established routes like Indian Rte-5 that cut through the open plains and low-lying ridges.
