2021 Map of Temporal Pass

About this map

Growler Mountains dominate the landscape in this Pima County survey, providing a sharp topographical barrier between the high peaks and the broad expanse of Growler Valley to the west. This 2021 edition documents the drainage patterns of the desert floor, where Daniels Arroyo and Chico Shunie Arroyo carve through the arid terrain. The map centers on the namesake Temporal Pass, a natural corridor through the steep ridges. The absence of modern development highlights the preserved state of this corner of the Sonoran Desert, emphasizing the ancient geological features and the dry wash systems that define the area's hydrology. It serves as a detailed record of public land divisions, specifically noting the intersection of several townships including t13s r8w and t12s r7w.
