2014 Map of Vaya Chin

About this map

Vaya Chin sits at the junction of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes Bia-34 and Bia-64, serving as a focal point in this portion of Pima County. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of San Simon Wash, which meanders through the central terrain towards the south. The topography is anchored by significant elevations, including the Castle Mountains in the north and the prominent peaks of Sierra Blanca in the southeastern corner. These natural landmarks overlook the broad expanse of Window Valley. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the region, illustrating the relationship between the primary settlement and the surrounding arid geography, where road networks are closely tied to the natural contours and watercourses of the desert floor.
