1981 Map of Patagonia

The presence of numerous remote sites such as Hard Luck Ranch and Weatherhead Ranch suggests a landscape of persistent rural occupation despite the challenging terrain. Water remains a central feature for both industry and recreation, evidenced by Patagonia Lake State Park and the complex drainage systems of Temporal Gulch and Cieneguita Canyon. From the high peaks like Salero Mtn to the many shafts of the Mansfield Group, this survey documents the deep intersection of Arizona's extractive history and its natural topography.
