The combined population of Patagonia-Sonoita-Elgin is less than the 2,642 souls living in the provincial setting of the play Our Town. So it may not have been surprising that Thornton Wilder mentioned Patagonia more than once to interviewers in early 1962 when contemplating a retreat to the Southwest where he would live “without cultivated conversation.”

A journey’s path is seldom straight. Sue Downing can attest to that. What would seem a near certainty—the addition of Elgin’s 1922 Babocomari Creek Bridge to the National Register of Historic Places—has run into an obstacle. Actually, two. A 2009 inventory of the bridge prepared for...

The community of Vaughn was located on the north and south sides of today’s Highway 83, west of the junction of 83 with the Elgin-Canelo road. Roskruge’s 1893 Official Map of Pima County records Vaughn’s location (spelled Vaughan). It wasn’t until the influx of homesteaders to the area starting in the early 1900s that a few hallmarks of a community were acquired, and reports of Vaughn happenings appeared in local newspapers.
