2011 Map of Santa Rosa Mountains SW

About this map

Santa Rosa Valley dominates this desert landscape, defined by a network of drainage systems that converge in the arid basin of the Sif Oidak District. The geography is primarily shaped by the Santa Rosa Wash, Quijotoa Wash, and Sil Nakya Wash, which illustrate the complex water drainage patterns essential for life in this part of Arizona. In the southeast, the terrain rises into the Sil Nakya Hills, while the northeastern edge is marked by the Santa Rosa Mountains and the prominent Gu Achi Peak. Human presence is indicated by the settlements of Makgum Havoka and Bibyak, reflecting the dispersed nature of local communities in the early 21st century. This survey provides a clear view of how these small settlements relate to the high peaks and vast alluvial washes of the Pima County desert.
