About this map

Patagonia serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated along Sonoita Creek at the edge of the Coronado National Forest. The map documents a territory defined by historic mining and ranching interests, featuring the Santa Cruz Mine, Sansimon Mine, and the Aztec Group Mines near Aztec Gulch. Historical geography is particularly evident at Crittenden (Site), where a former rail-side settlement is marked near a small Cem.

Private landholdings like Lazy RR Ranch, Stevens Ranch, and Fortune Ranch are interspersed between the high peaks of the Canelo Hills and the deep drainage of Harshaw Creek. The presence of the Ranger Station and High Sch in the southwest corner reflects the organized civic life of the era, while 4WD tracks and numerous springs like Papago Spring and Oak Grove Spring show the network of access into the more isolated canyons.
