2011 Map of North of Agua Dulce Mountains

About this map

San Cristobal Wash dominates the arid landscape in this 2011 survey, cutting a wide path through Pima County. The terrain is characterized by these ephemeral drainage systems, including the smaller Growler Wash to the northeast, which define the movement of water across the desert floor. In such a dry environment, small water catchments like Redtail Tank and Parra Tank represent critical points of human and animal interest. Deer Hollow provides a distinct topographic break in the southern portion of the map. This area, located north of the namesake mountains, shows a landscape largely shaped by natural watercourses rather than modern infrastructure, offering a clear view of the region's natural hydrology and primitive trail crossings.
