2018 Map of San Miguel

About this map

The Baboquivari Valley defines the landscape of this Pima County border region, where the desert floor is marked by the complex drainage of the Vamori Wash. This 2018 survey captures a remote section of the Tohono O'odham Nation, documenting the enduring presence of small settlements like Haivan Vaya and Hashan Chuchg. The most significant geographic feature is the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos, which cuts diagonally across the terrain. Local travel is facilitated by a sparse network of roads, including San Miguel Rd and Noriego Rd, while the San Miguel Tank indicates the essential role of water management in this arid environment. To the northwest, the elevation rises sharply toward the slopes of Morena Mtn, providing a distinct contrast to the alluvial plains below.
