[1] The left fork crosses the Santa Cruz at Canoé, recrossing the
river near Tubac; (the measurement was made on this road). The right
fork does not cross the river, and is longer.
[2] Just beyond Smith’s Ranch, take the left fork to Camp Crittenden.
The main road goes into Sonora.
Between Tubac and Smith’s Ranch, there are ranches every few miles,
with water, grass, and wood.
Between Sonoita and Camp Crittenden, there are several ranches with
water and grass, but little wood.
Road to Tubac very hard and smooth; but very rough from there to
Crittenden, through Sonoita Cañon.
