2021 Map of Hickiwan

About this map

Hickiwan sits at the northern end of this desert landscape, where the high point of Hickiwan Peak overlooks the intersection of Indian Rte 34 and Stor Pitka Rd. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the summit of Black Circle Mtn down into the broad expanse of the Quijotoa Valley and the Hickiwan Valley. These drainage basins are connected by the seasonal course of the Hickiwan Wash, which threads through the center of the survey. The transport network relies on desert routes like Indian Rte 17, which skirts the western hills. This area, within Pima County, illustrates a traditional desert settlement pattern where small communities and named peaks serve as primary landmarks across a vast, arid basin-and-range topography.
