2014 Map of Gunsight

About this map

Schuchuli sits at the heart of this Sonoran Desert landscape, situated along S Highway 86 between the Pozo Redondo Mountains and the Gunsight Hills. The map documents a sparsely populated region of Pima County where the topography is defined by prominent drainages like Gunsight Wash and Sikort Chuapo Wash that cut through the surrounding valleys. A significant portion of the southern terrain is protected within the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, marking a transition toward the Ajo Range. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Gunsight Cem near the junction of major routes, while further south, the settlement of Kuakatch lies near the Kuakatch Pass, providing a clear view of the historical settlement patterns and transport corridors within the Valley of the Ajo.
