About this map

Roskruge Mountains and the Coyote Mountains dominate this arid landscape within the Tohono O'odham Nation, framing a transition between prominent peaks and desert washes. The map details the small settlements of San Pedro and Nawt Vaya, reflecting the long-standing habitation patterns in this portion of Pima County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including Martina Mtn, Sharp Peak, and the volcanic-shaped Dobbs Buttes, which rise abruptly from the surrounding basin.

Water management is central to life in the Altar Valley, evidenced by features like Reservation Tank, Middle Tank, and the sprawling drainage of Mendoza Wash. Modern infrastructure is represented by W Ajo Hwy (State Route 86), which serves as the primary artery through the region. This 2014 survey captures the precise intersection of traditional Tohono O'odham lands and the evolving road network, providing a detailed record of local geography and topography.
