About this map

Pete Kitchens Ranch and Guevavi Ranch occupy the lowlands of the Santa Cruz River valley, illustrating the enduring agricultural and ranching legacy of this borderland region. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages, including Sonoita Cr and Nogales Wash, which cut through a landscape of named canyons like Calabasas Canyon and Fresno Canyon. Significant modern infrastructure is visible at the Rio Rico Calabasas Interchange, where Interstate 19 facilitates transport through the developing community of Rio Rico.

The map details a network of residential streets with Spanish nomenclature, such as Avenida Coatimundi and Camino Magnifico, winding around prominent geological features like Cuates Butte and Mount Benedict. To the south, the settlement of Beyerville sits near the confluence of local washes, while the Palo Duro Creek Golf Course suggests the transition from traditional ranching to modern recreational land use in the early 21st century.
