About this map

Lochiel sits directly on the international border between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos in this 2014 topographic survey. This remote borderland in Santa Cruz County is defined by the high-elevation grasslands of the San Rafael Valley, an area largely preserved from modern development. The landscape is marked by deep drainage patterns such as Hayfield Draw and Antonio Canyon, which channel water toward the southern boundary.

In the eastern portion of the map, the terrain rises into the Coronado National Forest, where steep ridges are punctuated by cattle tanks like Huachuca Tank and Arlene Tank. Historical mining and ranching access is evidenced by the network of unpaved routes, including Duquesne Rd and W Mine Rd. This map captures a quintessential Arizona border landscape, where the intersection of natural topography and political boundaries remains visible through the local road and water-management systems.
