FATHER KINO MISSION

[Coach K]

Hello
I am trying to find the location of the lost San Rafael mission in SE Arizona. Can someone help me out? I have checked the internet for references but no luck. Could it have been renamed? There is reference to a place called San Rafael i found on google earth in S Arizona but no mission remains noted. Any ideas?
Thanks

I do believe that the Guevavi Mission near Tumacacori was also called San Rafael.

Samanthy is correct.

PS: Coach K, welcome to treasurenet !!

 

[Coach K]

thank you for the replies guys but the San Rafael mission
i am looking for is East of Sonoyta Arizona and South of Sells Arizona.

Sonoyta is not in Arizona. It is in Sonora, Mexico.

Additionally, I believe the abandoned mission you are looking for is also in Sonora, Mexico. You may need to expand your search to the old fashioned way, books and documents. Have fun.

Time for more coffee.

Coach K,
Could you be referring to Sonoita which is north of Nogales?
