2021 Map of Kots Kug Ranch

About this map

Kots Kug Ranch sits at the center of this 2021 landscape in Pima County, positioned where the drainage systems of Chukut Kuk Wash and Big Wash converge. The terrain is defined by broad geographic features, including the expanse of The Great Plain to the west and the sheltered Tecolote Valley to the south. Elevations rise toward the north at Chiweton Hill, providing a vantage point over the desert scrub and seasonal watercourses. The network of modern infrastructure is anchored by Papago Farms Rd, which traverses the southern portion of the quadrangle. This map documents a contemporary view of ranching life and desert geography, capturing the specific spatial relationship between named cattle stations and the intermittent washes that dictate the movement of water across the basin.
