2011 Map of Kino Peak

About this map

Kino Peak stands as the central landmark in this arid portion of Pima County, anchored by the Bates Mountains and the Cipriano Hills. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal courses of Aguajita Wash and Cherioni Wash. This map documents a sparsely populated desert environment where water sources like Dripping Springs were critical to historical travel and survival. The network of primitive roads and 4WD tracks converges at Puerto Blanco Pass, indicating the primary route through the mountainous terrain during the early 21st century. The sparse distribution of named points highlights the isolation of this corner of Arizona, preserved here in high-resolution topography.
