1994 Map of Lukeville

About this map

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument dominates the western half of this 1994 survey, where the Lukeville Port of Entry marks the critical transition between the United States and Mexico. The international boundary splits the landscape, separating the Arizona settlement of Lukeville from its southern neighbor, Sonoyta, in the Estado de Sonora. East of the Ajo Range, the map reveals the cultural geography of the Papago Indian Reservation (Tohono O'odham Nation), featuring a network of traditional O'odham communities like Ali Chuk, Vamori, and Kom Vo. The drainage patterns of the Great Papago Plain are defined by numerous washes, including the Vamori Wash and Chukut Kuk Wash, which flow through the arid basins of the La Quituni Valley and Tecolote Valley.
