USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Mining and ranching define the landscape of Arivaca and its surrounding desert foothills in the late 1970s. The settlement's history is deeply connected to mineral extraction, visible through numerous workings like the Backbone Mine, Amado Mine, and the Edwards Mine. Water remains the critical resource for these operations and local life, evidenced by the Arivaca Coop Water Wells and a network of tanks and springs such as Fraguita Spring and Caviglia Tank.
