About this map

The Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation dominates this desert landscape, where the high ridges of the Roskruge Mountains descend into wide alluvial basins. The small settlement of San Pedro is situated on the western edge of the range, marked by a local Cem and proximity to Viopuli Wash. The map details a cattle-ranching and survival infrastructure essential for the arid climate, tracing numerous water sources such as Townsend Well, Davidson Well, and the Reservation Tank.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Coyote Mountains Wilderness protects the higher elevations near Bell Mountain. The presence of the Levee and Coleman Road suggests the management of seasonal runoff through drainages like Mendoza Wash and Brawley Wash. Topographic landmarks including Sharp Peak and Martina Mountain provide distinct navigational points across the vast valley floors and Dobbs Buttes.
