Redrock Canyon COA

Redrock Canyon is tributary of Sonoita Creek with interrupted perennial flow that drains off the Canelo Hills near the town of Patagonia. Redrock Canyon was historically occupied by a relict population of Gila topminnow, which has since been replaced by non-native western mosquitofish. On-going management issues included the presence of western mosquitofish and the lack of perennial water in recent years.
