2014 Map of Cumero Canyon

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the high ground of the Patagonia Mountains in this desert landscape, where seasonal drainages and water-management features define the local geography. The presence of numerous tanks and springs, such as Jarillas Tank and Flux Spring, indicates the critical role of water for ranching and wildlife in this arid region of Santa Cruz County. The Santa Cruz River corridor serves as a focal point for settlement and infrastructure, passing near the community of Beyerville and supporting Buena Vista Lake. Further south, the Nogales International Airport sits near Tascala Canyon, marking a modern gateway to the borderlands. The terrain is marked by significant vertical relief, from the low-lying river valley to the heights of Guajalote Peak, with numerous deep canyons like Guevavi Canyon and Wild Hog Canyon cutting through the mountains.
