2018 Map of Tecolote Ranch

About this map

The international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos cuts diagonally across this desert landscape, defining the southern limit of the Chukut Kuk District. Located within the Sonoran desert environment of Pima County, the area is characterized by drainage systems like Chukut Kuk Wash and the presence of several small settlements and landmarks. Small hubs of activity are scattered across the terrain, including Tecolote Ranch in the north and the villages of San Rafael, Vakamok, and Itak further east. The topography is influenced by the Alvarez Mountains in the northeast and Wolfley Hill near the border, with travel facilitated by routes such as Ind Ser Rt 12 and W Indian Rte 2. This survey documents the intersection of rural ranching life and the formal political border in a remote section of southern Arizona.
