About this map

The Santa Cruz River valley serves as the central artery for this part of Southern Arizona, anchoring a string of settlements and historic landholdings. The area around Tubac and Tumacacori is characterized by a mix of traditional ranching properties and more modern developments. Named landmarks such as Kenyon Ranch, San Cayetano Ranch, and Rock Corral Ranch reflect the long-standing agricultural and residential heritage of the region. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the Tumacacori Mountains, where Tumacacori Peak and Sardina Peak dominate the skyline.

Transportation and infrastructure are defined by the corridor following the river, including the Tubac Ultralight Flightpark and several major interchanges along the primary highway. Smaller communities and named locales like Carmen and Otero sit alongside rugged drainage features such as Josephine Canyon and Peck Canyon. The map also captures numerous water sources essential to this arid environment, including Aliso Spring, Rock Corral Spring, and Hidden Tank, which have historically supported both wildlife and local ranching operations.
