Sonoita Creek

The Sonoita Creek , Sonoita To more rarely rivet , is a river which runs in the south of the Arizona, in the county of Santa Cruz, with the the United States. It crosses Sonoita, Patagonia and is thrown in the Lac Patagonia in the north of Nogales.

The November 17th 1856, the US Army built the Fort Buchanan on its banks in order to ensure the control of the territories acquired at the time of the Achat Gadsden.

The railroad of the New Mexico City and Arizona Railroad skirted Sonoita Creek on a portion of its layout. This layout ran since the junction with the Southern Pacific Railroad to Benson, then in the south of Fairbanks (approximately 13 km in the east of Tombstone) and towards the west with Sonoita - Patagonia and Calabassas (today Rio Rico) and finished in Nogales. The railroad was built between 1881 and 1882. The line will be abandoned in five phases between 1927 and 1962. Only 15,74 km of rails in place of Rio Rico in Nogales, are still served today by the Union Pacific Railroad.
