About this map

The international border between the United States of America and Mexico bisects this Pima County landscape, where the southern reaches of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge meet the Coronado National Forest. This arid terrain is defined by its water management systems, featuring a network of isolated catchments like Marijuana Tank, Alamito Tank, and Coche Tank that supported cattle ranching and wildlife in the high desert.

Resource extraction history is marked by the Sandwash Mill located east of Cumero Mtn. The topography is dominated by the San Luis Mountains and significant elevations such as Lesna Peak and Black Mesa. Deep drainages including Arrieta Wash and Coches Canyon carve through the ridge lines, illustrating the complex hydrology of the borderlands. Connectivity is limited to rugged tracks and the notable Garcia School Rd in the northwestern sector.
