2011 Map of South of Papago Farms

About this map

United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos international border defines this remote desert landscape within the Sonoran borderlands. The topography is characterized by a series of north-south drainage patterns that cut across The Great Plain, a prominent feature in the northern portion of the quadrangle. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise record of the arid terrain and the sparse physical infrastructure along the boundary between Arizona and Sonora during the early 21st century. The map highlights the natural hydrography of the region, where seasonal washes and ephemeral streams dictate the shape of the land south of the Papago Farms area.
