2021 Map of Papago Farms

About this map

The Great Plain of Pima County defines the character of this borderland landscape, where agricultural infrastructure meets the wide drainage systems of the Sonoran Desert. The map centers on the organized grid of Papago Farms, a significant local development served by Papago Farms Rd. This area is characterized by its ephemeral watercourses, specifically the braided channels of Chukut Kuk Wash and San Simon Wash, which dictate the placement of roads and settlements. Near the northern foothills, Indian Rte 21 snakes through the topography toward Stan Shuatuk, while the western edge of the sheet transitions into the Kom Vo Valley. The survey provides a clear view of how modern ranching and desert habitation align with the natural contours and seasonal washes of the region.
