The 1701 Kino map doesn't show any visitas between Tubac and San Xavier Del Bac. If there was a stop-over place it would have been in a Pima village.

Gambrinus,

Kearny is around 80 from Tucson, which was originally a Visita. Were you looking for something a little closer? If you had a place more specific in mind, it would help if you fleshed out your question a bit.

Good luck,

Thank you both for your responses. I guess I may be barking up the wrong tree.

Gambrinus,

Sorry we couldn't help you. I have plenty of research material which might help, but would need you to present more information to narrow the research down. I believe there were less than two dozen missions and visitas in southern Arizona.

Good luck,

I have a copy of an old map entitled: "Passage by land to California Discovered by Father Eusebius Francis Kino a Jesuit; between the years 1698 & 1701: containing likewise the New Missions of the Jesuits."

I find no visitas in that area only a rancheria named 'San Fernando' near the confluence of the San Pedro and Gila rivers. The map shows it west of the San Pedro and south of the Gila. Going west down the Gila, the next thing shown is Casa Grande.

From the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology, bulletin 30 "Handbook of American Indians north of Mexico" 1907:

San Fernando. A former Pima rancheria 9 leagues E. of the ruins of Casa Grande, near Rio Gila, S. Arizona; visited and so named by Father Kino about 1697.

Thank you, Lucky Baldwin, that is close to the area.

Well I found out about one back in 1980. East of San Manuel. When the ranchers first moved in area (1880, as per one rancher I talked with in 1980) they found an "Old Orchard". Apaches didn't plant orchards, but the Jesuits did, they remembered Scurvy from coming over by ship. Let me know if you want his name Joe. PM me as I don't give out names without permission.
