这个地方的故事深深的植根于这个区域的历史和文化中。区域的生物多样性是大Madrean群岛的一部分，从索诺兰沙漠一直延伸到了奇瓦瓦沙漠。南亚利桑那州、南新墨西哥州和德克萨斯极西地带的典型部分就像是广阔沙漠地貌中的生活和居住者们的指路明灯一样。它们被一个链条连接着，这个链条连接着墨西哥马德雷山脉的北端，而且在区域生活的故事中是必不可少的一部分，作为迁徙部落、鸟类和荒原中捕食者避难所的形式出现。 圣拉斐尔山谷的地形和地质形成了圣克鲁兹河的源头。圣克鲁兹河是唯一一条向南流向墨西哥，又向北折回流到到美国的河流。在1000年的历史中，这条河流对区域中居住者们的故事来说都非常重要。许多的人类历史都要归功于区域中百万年前的地质活动。大的火山活动形成了众所周知的地形。这留下了盆地和山脉的地形，以及矿产、资源和富饶的土地，这些东西对区域中的居住者和文明的形成来说很重要。 译者：蝈蝈 The story of this place is rooted deep in the history and culture of the region. The biodiversity of the region is part of the larger Madrean Archipelago, stretching from the Sonoran to Chihuahuan deserts. Defining parts of Southern Arizona, Southern New Mexico, and parts of Far West Texas with sky island ranges serving as beacons for life and inhabitants in the vast desert landscape. They are links in a chain that connect the northern end of the Sierra Madres in Mexico and are essential in the story of life in the region; in form of refuge and resource base for migrating tribes, birds, and predators moving through the vast openness. The San Rafael Valley’s topography and geology forms the headwaters of the Santa Cruz River. One of the only rivers that runs south into Mexico, and turns back north into the U.S. This river is vital to the story of habitance of this region for 10,000 yrs.Much of the human history lends itself to the geological events of the region millions of years ago. Large volcanic activity formed the landscape as we know it. This left behind the basin and range topography, as well as mineral and resource rich land that has been of value and use to the cultures that inhabited the region.
