La sierra Cucapá es una serranía o cordillera ubicada en noroeste del municipio de Mexicali, Baja California. Su extremo norte finaliza en el emblemático Cerro del Centinela. Otros cerros de importancia son: el Mayor y el Águila. El cerro El Mayor, también tiene relevancia regional ya que le da su nombre a la parte sur de esta serranía, que puede verse como un subsistema de la sierra Cucapá o como una sierra diferenciada aunque contigua.[2]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
