2018 Map of West of Wahak Hotrontk

About this map

Hickiwan Wash and San Simon Wash define the drainage patterns across this desert landscape in western Pima County. The terrain is characterized by the low elevations of the Quijotoa Valley to the southeast and the rising contours of the Gunsight Hills in the west. These natural corridors have long influenced movement through the region, as evidenced by the route of Indian Rte 17, which cuts north-south across the alluvial plains. This 2018 survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, showing the survey lines of t14s r2w and its neighbors that segment this part of the Tohono O'odham Nation territory. The sparse infrastructure emphasizes the reliance on seasonal washes and established desert routes for navigation and resource management.
