About this map

The mountain settlement of Duquesne sits high in the southern Patagonia Mountains, a remote outpost along the international border with Mexico. This 2021 survey illustrates a landscape of complex topography within the Coronado National Forest, where the terrain drops sharply from the heights of Mt Washington into the expansive San Rafael Valley to the east. The map records numerous water management features essential for ranching and survival in this arid environment, including Little Boy Spring, Benton Spring, and a series of numbered tanks such as Upper Thirteen Tank and North Fourteen Tank.

Access to this high-altitude border region is centered on Duquesne Rd, which snakes through the drainages of Washington Gulch and Antonio Canyon. The presence of Duquesne Wash and Hayfield Draw suggests the seasonal flow of water that has carved the canyons of the Patagonia Mountains. Geographers and researchers can trace the intersection of political boundaries and physical barriers where the line of the United States of America Estados Unidos Mexicanos cuts across the southern reach of the quadrangle.
