About this map

Kom Vo and the surrounding desert plains of the Chukut Kuk District are defined by a complex network of ephemeral waterways. The geography is characterized by the broad Quijotoa Valley and Kom Vo Valley, where drainage systems like Vamori Wash and San Simon Wash carve through the arid landscape. These washes dictate the positioning of local settlements, including Schuk Cowlik and Tatk Kam Vo, which are situated near these intermittent water sources.

Surface transportation is primarily limited to Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as Bia-24 and Bia-29, which connect these remote communities. The terrain includes a series of dramatic mountain ridges that rise sharply from the valley floor, creating a stark contrast between the low-lying washes like Hali Murk Wash and the surrounding high ground. This survey provides a clear look at the land use and tribal infrastructure within this part of the Tohono O'odham Nation.
