About this map

The Santa Cruz River valley serves as the central corridor for this part of Southern Arizona, where the historic settlements of Tubac and Tumacacori-Carmen sit at the edge of the high desert. This 2021 survey documents the proximity of modern residential developments like Otero and Carmen to the protected grounds of Tumacacori National Historical Park. To the west, the landscape rises sharply into the Tumacacori Mountains, dominated by peaks such as Tumacacori Peak and Sardina Peak.

Remote water sources like Rock Corral Spring, Mesquite Seep, and Hidden Tank suggest the enduring importance of water management in this arid environment. The map details a transition from the structured street grids of the valley floor to the winding canyons of the Coronado National Forest, including Peck Canyon and Josephine Canyon. Local landmarks such as the Gravel Pit and recreation routes like Kanye's Krazy Loop Trl further define the intersection of industry, history, and modern usage.
