1979 Map of Sasabe

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Sasabe port of entry anchors this 1970s survey, marking a critical junction along the Arizona Sonora border. The landscape is defined by the high-desert drainages of the Arroyo del Sasabe and the western slopes of the Pozo Verde Mts. This borderland region reflects a sparse but essential network of ranching and international trade infrastructure, featuring the U.S. Customs station and historic properties such as Rancho de la Osa and Garcia Ranch. The necessity of water management in this arid environment is evident through the scattered presence of a Well, a Water Tank, and La Osa Tank. These features illustrate the precarious balance of life and economy on the edge of the United States Mexico boundary before significant modern expansion altered the character of the border crossing.
