About this map

Mildred Peak and the high ridges of the Baboquivari Mountains dominate this arid landscape, where water management is the primary evidence of human activity. The map reveals an intricate network of washes and canyons, such as Thomas Canyon and Jupiter Canyon, that funnel seasonal runoff toward strategically placed reservoirs. Ranching and land use are marked by numerous named water features, including Cemetery Tank, Mormon Tank, and Mitchell Tank, essential for sustaining life and livestock in this environment.

Surface water is a rarity, found primarily at Corodope Spring and Escondido Spring, which historically dictated the movement of people and animals across the terrain. This 2021 update shows the modern road network, including Santa Margarita Rd and S Sasabe Rd, intersecting older land divisions like t20s r7e. The topography remains defined by its elevation extremes, from the heights of Osobavi Peak to the deep cut of Bear Canyon.
