About this map

The Duquesne settlement sits at the heart of this borderlands landscape, tucked within the rugged Patagonia Mountains of southern Arizona. This 2014 survey documents the high-elevation terrain near the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico, where the peaks of Mt Washington give way to the expansive San Rafael Valley to the east. The land is defined by its water sources, with numerous named catchments like Upper Thirteen Tank and Lower Two Tank supporting the region's ranching or wildlife needs.

Much of the area is protected within the Coronado National Forest, characterized by steep drainage systems such as Washington Gulch and Italian Canyon. Access to this remote corner of Santa Cruz County is facilitated by Duquesne Rd and W Mine Rd, which wind through the foothills near Duquesne Wash. The presence of several springs, including Benches Spring and Benton Spring, underscores the critical nature of water management in this arid mountain environment.
