About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation dominates this landscape, showing a region defined by arid drainages and isolated landforms. Central to the topography is the massive Window Valley, which is flanked by the namesake Window Mountain and its Natural Arch. This 1990 provisional edition documents the intricate network of desert washes, including the Santa Rosa Wash and Anegam Wash, which serve as the primary geographical markers in an area with sparse human development.

Evidence of ancient or former habitation is noted through archeological or historical locations such as Oit Ihuk (Site) and Noipa Kam (Site). The map also records early industry and pastoral use, marking a Prospect in the eastern hills and a Corral in the southern flats. These details provide a clear look at the seasonal and historic land use patterns within Pima County, from the high points of the Black Hills to the desert floor.
