2018 Map of Hickiwan

About this map

Hickiwan sits as the primary settlement within this high-desert landscape of Pima County, positioned at a vital crossroads where Indian Rte 17 meets Indian Rte 34. The terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic and desert landforms, notably Hickiwan Peak and the nearby Black Circle Mtn. The drainage patterns are dominated by the Hickiwan Wash, which threads through the center of the sheet, carving its way toward the Hickiwan Valley in the south. This 2018 survey illustrates the relationship between the sparse road network and the natural topographical basins, including a portion of the Quijotoa Valley to the east. The map captures the specialized land use and accessibility of the Tohono O'odham Nation territory, showing how modern transit routes follow the natural corridors between these prominent mountain features.
