2011 Map of Little Table Top

About this map

Vekol Wash serves as the central drainage system for this arid expanse in the Sif Oidak District, cutting a prominent path from the northwest toward the southeast. The landscape is defined by the sharp verticality of isolated peaks rising from the desert floor, specifically Black Mountain in the north and the namesake Little Table Top to the east. These geological features are typical of the basin and range province, where steep-sided volcanic or sedimentary formations provide the only significant relief in an otherwise flat alluvial plain. The 2011 survey reveals a stark, undeveloped environment with minimal human infrastructure, emphasizing the natural hydrology and topographical landmarks that have guided travelers through this part of the Sonoran Desert for generations.
