2021 Map of West of Wahak Hotrontk

About this map

Quijotoa Valley dominates this arid landscape in the Sonoran Desert, where ephemeral watercourses define the drainage patterns of the basin. The topographic data reveals the convergence of Hickiwan Wash and San Simon Wash, which flow across the flat valley floor between subtle rises in elevation. To the southwest, the Gunsight Hills provide a distinct vertical landmark against the otherwise low-lying terrain. Human infrastructure is limited to the crossing of Indian Rte 17, a critical transport corridor through this remote part of Pima County. The map is organized by the Public Land Survey System, showing the intersections of several townships, including t14s r2w and t14s r1w. This layout reflects the systematic division of the American West, highlighting how modern roadways and indigenous routes continue to follow the natural contours of the desert floor.
