2014 Map of West of Ventana

About this map

Ventana sits at the edge of a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Tohono O'odham Nation, where the broad Quijotoa Valley meets the rising elevations of the Castle Mountains. This 2014 survey documents a region of Pima County where infrastructure is sparse, characterized by Bureau of Indian Affairs routes like Bia-34 and Bia-23 that navigate the desert floor. The seasonal flow of San Simon Wash cuts through the southeastern corner, serving as a primary topographic marker in an area where water management is crucial. Further north, Kaka Valley and the industrial imprint of Pipeline Rd illustrate the modern intersection of traditional tribal lands and utility corridors. The map provides a precise record of the township and range boundaries, including t11s r1e and t12s r1w, which organize this portion of the Sonoran Desert.
