2011 Map of Saguaro Gap Well

About this map

Growler Wash dominates the arid drainage patterns of this Pima County landscape, its braided channels weaving across the desert floor. This 2011 survey focuses on a remote section of the Sonoran environment where the Saguaro Gap Well serves as a critical point of reference for local hydrology and land management. The sparse distribution of named features highlights the isolated character of the region, where the primary geological and historical interest lies in the movement of water through the seasonal washes and the human effort to tap into underground resources via scattered wells. The map captures a moment of modern topographic recording, detailing the subtle elevation changes and the network of dry stream beds that define the spatial organization of this desert territory.
