The Santa Cruz River is located in south-central Arizona in the Santa Cruz and Pima Counties. A short stretch of the rivers lies in northern Sonora and forms a big horseshoe bend as the river cuts across the foot of the Patagonia Mountains from the San Rafael Valley into the Santa Cruz Valley proper. In the San Rafael Valley, where the headwaters of the river are found, the Santa Cruz passes few towns or villages. The first one is Lochiel, a small cluster of houses on the International...

The Tubac Presidio State Historic Park is renovating the southern addition to the 1885 Tubac Schoolhouse. As part of this renovation, the park is making the structure handicapped-accessible by installing a covered ramp along the east side of the structure. Excavation of holes for footers for the ramp had the potential of disturbing intact cultural resources. Therefore, the Arizona State Parks contracted with Desert Archaeology to conduct excavations to mitigate the impacts caused by the footers....

Flooding along the Salt, Gila, Verde, and Agua Fria Rivers in February and March of 1978 resulted in extensive damage to property in Central Arizona and in the disruption of ground transportation and commerce in the greater Phoenix area. Major flooding also occurred along these rivers in December, 1978 and February, 1980. The recognition of this flooding problem, and of requirements for the regulatory storage of Central Arizona Project (CAP) water, prompted the U.S. Department of the Interior,...

Site form for 3PU0431. Site 3PU0431 consists of several structural remnants and is thought to date late in the historic period. No function could be determined for the site, which appears to have suffered from extensive disturbance, with only an estimated 10% remaining intact. Therefore, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP.

Site form for 3PU0441. Site 3PU0441 is a historic, possibly post-1940s farmstead. The area appears to have been clear cut except for the immediately around the structures. There is evidence of plowed fields to the north and west. Some bulldozer piles were found in the site area. Contextual integrity is estimated at 10% or less. Due to the extensive disturbance observed and the apparently late period of occupation, the site is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further...

Site Form for 3PU0444. Site 3PU0444 appears to be a 1940s to 1950s farmstead, probably associated with either the 1945 Ordnance Plant or the town of Taneyville. It consists of six features as well as an intact set of cement steps and a moderately dense subsurface artifact scatter. Unfortunately, the late occupation of the site and the disturbance noted are considered to make it ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0445. Site 3PU0445 appears to be a historic residence or homestead estimated occupation in the 1940s and 1950s. The site appears to have been leveled with heavy machinery and, considering the melted glass and burned sandstone, was also burned. In view of the extensive disturbance noted at the site and the late date of occupation, it is considered to be ineligible for inclusion on the NRHP and no further work is required.

Site form for 3PU0449. Site 3PU0449 appears to have been occupied late in the historic period and may not be of an age to make it eligible for inclusion on the NRHP. The remnants of two structures were found, along with a moderately dense surface scatter of trash. There is a lot of evidence for bulldozing in the area, leaving the site with only 5-10% contextual integrity. In view of the high degree of disturbance at the site and its apparent late date of occupation, it is considered to be...

The Tubac School, one of the several elements comprising the Tubac Presidio State Park, was constructed in 1885 and is one of the earliest American public schools established in what was then the Territory of Arizona. Although no significant historical events are yet associated with the Tubac School, and many other Territorial buildings are of greater architectural interest, the School is an unusually well-preserved example of 19th Century one-room, rural schools. Today the building consists...
