The illegal movement of people, drugs and property across the Mexican border has been a problem for decades. Because of this the Border Patrol has a huge presence in the southern parts of Arizona. You can’t travel a northbound highway without going through one or more checkpoints and the sides of the highways are dotted with Border Patrol vehicles and monitoring stations. The Naco Border Patrol Station’s area of responsibility (AOR) is located within the Cochise County in south east Arizona covering approximately 1,175 square miles. This includes 32.5 miles of International Boundary with the areas of Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, Naco, Sonora, Mexico, and Cananea, Sonora, Mexico. The station’s AOR commences near Paul Spur west of Douglas, Arizona, continuing west through the San Pedro River Valley to the crest of the Huachuca Mountains in the Coronado National Forest.
