2018 Map of Kitt Peak

About this map

Kitt Peak dominates this high-altitude Pima County landscape, surrounded by the peaks of the Quinlan Mountains, Coyote Mountains, and the Baboquivari Mountains. This 2018 survey documents a remote desert environment defined by significant vertical relief and a complex network of seasonal drainages, including San Vicente Wash and Alambre Wash. The mapping of livestock and water management infrastructure is prominent, with several named catchments such as Santa Margarita Tank, Levitt Tank, and Mercy Tank scattered across the township and range divisions. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations and natural corridors like Pan Tak Pass and San Juan Pass, which provide passage between the steep ridges of Uhs Kug and the Alambre Valley. Numerous named canyons, including Mendoza Canyon and Ali Molina Canyon, illustrate the erosional patterns of the Sonoran Desert uplands.
