About this map

The Papago Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this borderland survey, where the international boundary between the United States and Mexico cuts across the arid terrain. The map provides a unique look at the cultural landscape of the late 20th century, documenting small settlements and agricultural sites like El Panama, Panamá, and Veintiuno de Marzo (Fracción Tres) south of the line in Sonora.

Hydrological features such as the San Francisquito wash and the seasonal L. Sucita Viejo are critical landmarks in this environment. The survey also captures the transition from the Great Plain into the more varied topography of northern Mexico, centered around the settlement of Sonoita. This provisional edition serves as a snapshot of the region's transborder connectivity and land use just before the turn of the millennium.
