2012 Map of Saucito Mountain

About this map

K X Ranch and Santa Lucia Ranch define the ranching landscape of this Pima County region, where water management is central to the local geography. The area is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainage systems, most notably Sopori Wash and Batamote Wash, which cut through the arid terrain. Cattle ranching infrastructure is evident through numerous named water catchments such as Sparkplug Tank, Wino Tank, and Suzy Q Tank, supporting operations near Moyza Ranch. The topography rises toward the southeast at Saucito Mountain, while the northern portion is dominated by the broad elevation of Sheriffs Mesa. This 2012 survey illustrates the continued reliance on traditional desert ranching footprints, connected by primitive routes like Moyza Ranch Rd and W Arivaca Rd.
