2012 Map of Kino Springs

About this map

Kino Springs is the primary settlement on this borderlands landscape, where residential street names like Stirrup St, Roundup Rd, and Stagecoach Way evoke a deliberate Western equestrian character. The terrain is deeply defined by the Santa Cruz River and a series of rugged drainages including Yerba Buena Canyon and Brickwood Canyon. Long-established ranching interests are evident in the presence of Yerba Buena Ranch, Buena Vista Ranch, and Lows Ranch, which dot the foothills and river valley. Along the western edge of the community, El Camino Real traces a historic route, while a network of stock tanks such as Quien Sabe Tank and Chamberlain Tank provides essential water for the arid environment. Further east, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic as it enters Sycamore Canyon and Italian Canyon, emphasizing the remote, canyon-slashed nature of the Arizona-Sonora border region.
