About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation dominates this desert landscape, characterized by isolated peaks and seasonal watercourses. The settlements of Hotason Vo and Chagit Vo are the primary focal points of human activity in this corner of Pima County. The terrain transitions from the low Quijotoa Valley to the prominent Gunsight Hills, where Ninemile Peak rises above the surrounding flats.

Resource extraction and land management are evident through labels such as the Little Chief Mine, a scattered Mine Shaft, and various prospects. Evidence of water management in this arid environment is documented by a series of Check Dams and the Ditch near Kavolik. Significant drainage features including Sikort Chuapo Wash and Gunsight Wash define the movement of water across the alluvial fans. For genealogists, the map also notes a local cemetery near the northwestern corner of the quadrangle.
