About this map

Sonoita and Elgin anchor this high-desert landscape in southeastern Arizona, where the sprawling grasslands of the Babocomari River basin meet the dramatic foothills of the Mustang Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages, including Cienega Cr, Smith Canyon, and Gardner Canyon, which create a complex network of seasonal watercourses.

A network of local roads and trails such as Wagon Wheel Ln, Black Stallion Dr, and Cattle Ranch Ln reflects the area's ongoing ranching character. Near the center of the sheet, the Fruitland Cem serves as a small but important genealogical marker. The intersection of Az-82 and Az-83 near Sonoita highlights the region's role as a transit corridor between the mountain ranges and the southern canyons of Hay Canyon and Vaughn Canyon.
