1988 Map of Kom Vo

About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation defines this arid landscape, where desert water management is visible through a network of Check Dams and isolated Check Dam installations. These features sit at the intersection of the Quijotoa Valley and the Kom Vo Valley, illustrating the efforts to capture seasonal runoff in a region dominated by ephemeral drainage. Small settlements like Kom Vo and Tatk Kam Vo are connected by simple 4wd tracks, showing the sparse but persistent human presence in the Pima County desert during the late 20th century.
