2018 Map of Santa Rosa Mountains SW

About this map

Makgum Havoka occupies the lower southern reaches of this Pima County landscape, where desert flats meet the dramatic western face of the Santa Rosa Mountains. The topography is defined by the sharp vertical rise of Gu Achi Peak in the east, which overlooks a vast network of ephemeral drainage systems that shape the arid basin below. These desert watercourses, including the wide paths of Sil Nakya Wash, Santa Rosa Wash, and Quijotoa Wash, dictate the natural movement of the terrain and the placement of local roads. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the Sif Oidak District, where human presence is clustered around the central Makgum Havoka area while the surrounding environment remains dominated by the stark relief of the mountain range and its alluvial fans.
