About this map

Patagonia sits as a central hub for the high-desert drainages of Santa Cruz County, where the Santa Rita Mountains meet the Patagonia Mountains. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares like W McKeown Ave and W Nauglie Ave, reflecting its position along the Az-82 corridor. This area has long been a crossroads for mining and ranching interests, evidenced by the numerous canyon names and water sources such as Mata Siete Spring and Dripping Spring that dot the surrounding Coronado National Forest.

Water management and local history are etched into the landscape via Sonoita Creek and Patagonia Lake to the southwest. Genealogists and historians can identify local burial sites at Patagonia Cem and the Gatlin-Jones Cem near the town center. The path of the Arizona National Scenic Trail winds through the eastern portion of the map, tracing the high ridges between Gringo Gulch and Mansfield Canyon, illustrating the varied terrain that defines this southern Arizona borderlands region.
