2021 Map of Sonoita

About this map

Coronado National Forest dominates the mountain and canyon landscape of this borderlands region where Santa Cruz and Pima counties meet. The settlement of Sonoita serves as a central hub, surrounded by a distinct network of ranch-named roads and equine-themed trails like Lariat Trl and Mustang Trl. The map documents a rugged drainage system where Sonoita Cr is fed by numerous named gulches and canyons, including Kentucky Gulch, Louisiana Gulch, and Fish Canyon. Historical water sources such as Apache Spring and Monkey Spring are vital landmarks in this arid terrain. For researchers, the detailed mapping of individual estates like Hacienda Los Encino and the route of the Arizona National Scenic Trl provides a clear view of how modern recreation and ranching heritage occupy the same canyons and mesas.
