About this map

The international border between the United States of America and Mexico bisects this arid landscape, showing the transition from the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation in Pima County to the northern reaches of Sonora. The northern portion is defined by the Great Plain, a wide expanse marked by isolated settlements like El Tupil and L. Sucita Viejo situated near the boundary line.

South of the border, the terrain is characterized by the seasonal drainage patterns of San Francisquito and Sonoita, leading toward agricultural or ranching hubs such as Panamá, El Panama, and Veintiuno de Marzo (Fracción Tres). The map provides a look at the cross-border geography of the mid-1990s, where traditional land use and remote border outposts define the character of this desert region.
