About this map

Piety Hill rises above a desert landscape defined by a complex network of canyons and intermittent water sources in eastern Pima County. The presence of Youtcy Ranch and various cattle-related infrastructure, such as Bullock Corrals Spring and Italian Trap, indicates the area's ongoing history of ranching. Human activity is concentrated along Redington Rd, which serves as the primary artery through the terrain, connecting travelers to the Italian Spring Trailhead.

Hydrological features are central to the geography here, with dozens of named tanks and springs scattered across the map, including Alambre Tank, Precopia Spring, and the notable Chiva Falls. To the west, Chimney Rock and Chimney Rock Creek provide distinct landmarks, while the southern section is dominated by the deep cut of Joaquin Canyon. This 2011 survey records the essential water points and trails that have supported both stockmen and modern hikers in this arid environment.
