2004 Map of Kino Springs

About this map

The Maria Santisima del Carmen Buena Vista Grant defines the upper portion of this international border survey, where the valley of the Santa Cruz River transitions from Arizona into Sonora. This rare look at the cross-border landscape shows the river's path south of Kino Springs, where it winds through Mexican settlements including Buenavista, San Luis, and Cadillal. The topography is dominated by the Patagonia Mountains to the east and Mesa la Calera to the west, with the Coronado National Forest boundary intersecting the rugged drainage systems. Local infrastructure such as Duquesne Road and numerous water sources like Granger Well and Piedragosa Tanks highlight the ranching and resource-extraction history of the Santa Cruz valley during the early 2000s.
