About this map

Nogales serves as a pivotal border gateway in this detailed 2018 survey, centered on the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with the urban grid climbing over Crawford Hill and into the surrounding drainages. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by features like Cautiva Tank and the seasonal flow of Potrero Cr and the Nogales Wash.

Residential and industrial expansion follows the natural contours of Ephriam Canyon and Mariposa Canyon, while the western edge of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Coronado National Forest. Local landmarks such as the Ione Marcus Gordon Memorial Park and names like Brickwood Canyon and Proto Canyon reflect the long history of mining, ranching, and cross-border commerce that has shaped this Santa Cruz County community.
