Cady Hall is a Spanish Colonial Revival building in Patagonia, Arizona. The building was constructed in 1901 as the Patagonia Hotel by local businessman John Cady (1846–1927). During the twentieth century it was used as a hotel, a boarding house, a church, a library and a social hall. The L-shaped one-story plastered adobe building has a pyramidal roof over the main section and a gable room over the hotel portion, with a shed roofed addition. The main section houses the meeting spaces. Sheet metal has replaced the original shingle roofing. A porch roof follows the profile of the main roof a lower elevation on two sides.Cady Hall was purchased by the Patagonia Women's Club in 1947, who donated space for the library from 1957.

Alto is a ghost town in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, first settled in the early 1900s in what was then part of the Tyndall Mining District, east of Tubac in the Santa Rita Mountains.

Harshaw Creek is a stream in the Patagonia Mountains of Santa Cruz County, Arizona, named after David Tecumseh Harshaw, who settled along its banks in the mid-1870s. It is approximately 15 miles (24 km) long and flows in a north to northwesterly direction toward the community of Patagonia, where it joins with Sonoita Creek.Most of Harshaw Creek is ephemeral and experiences its greatest stream-flow after the summer monsoon and winter snowstorms. Vegetation is typical to the region with cottonwood, willow, sycamore and other lesser plants forming a riparian corridor along its banks. Upper Harshaw Creek flows through a narrow, steep-walled valley, which widens out into a sandy channel as it enters the Sonoita Valley a few miles south of Patagonia.Much of Harshaw Creek is located within the Coronado National Forest and is available for recreational use. Several ranches are also located alongside the creek, although cattle grazing is limited. The creek and its tributaries were the center of extensive gold and silver mining activity beginning at the end of the 19th century and lasting well into the 20th century. As a result, there are multiple abandoned mines in the area, which are a significant source of pollution. Because of this, Harshaw Creek has a significantly higher pH level than other nearby streams.
