About this map

Santa Rosa and the surrounding desert plains of the Santa Rosa Valley define this landscape within the Tohono O'odham Nation. The settlement pattern is characterized by several distinct communities, including Anegam, Achi, and Ali Oidak, which are linked by a network of local routes such as Indian Rte 29 and Indian Rte 34. A significant cultural landmark, the Santa Rosa Francisco Cem, is located west of the main village near the intersection of Indian Rte 152.

Ephemeral drainage systems like Gu Achi Wash and Santa Rosa Wash cross the valley floor, highlighting the importance of water management in this arid environment. To the north and west, the terrain rises into the Sheridan Mountains and Noipa Kam Hills, providing a stark contrast to the flat expanses where Ak Chin and Palo Verde Stand are situated. The layout of Boarding School Rd near Santa Rosa indicates the historical infrastructure developed to serve the local population.
