About this map

The United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos international border defines the southern edge of this Arizona landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Coronado National Forest meets the Mexican state of Sonora. The map documents the scattered remnants of mining-era settlements, including the historic locale of Oro Blanco and the neighboring Old Glory. These sites are linked by Ruby Rd and surrounded by a complex network of ephemeral water sources and drainage features such as Yellow Jacket Wash and Alamo Wash.

Local history is preserved in the location of the El Oro Cem and the naming of topographical landmarks like Bartlett Mountain and Sentinel Peak. The prevalence of named tanks and springs, such as Cemetery Tank and Warsaw Spring, underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid cattle and mining country. From the depths of Warsaw Canyon to the heights of Black Peak, the map provides a precise record of the Santa Cruz County borderlands.
