2021 Map of Patagonia

About this map

The town of Patagonia serves as the focal point of this study, positioned near the confluence of Sonoita Creek and CCC Canyon. The landscape is defined by the intersection of mountain peaks and deep drainages, including the Grosvenor Hills to the west and the Patagonia Mountains to the southeast. Local history is preserved in sites like Patagonia Cem and Jones Cem, while the rugged geography is marked by landmarks such as Salero Mtn and Castle Butte. Transport and recreation routes weave through the Coronado National Forest, notably the Arizona National Scenic Trail which traverses the eastern half of the map through Gringo Gulch and Temporal Gulch. The arrangement of canyons like School Canyon and Ash Canyon suggests a settlement pattern deeply influenced by the seasonal water flow and the topographic constraints of the Santa Cruz County highlands.
