I have no idea exactly where it is but here is my analysis. 1. The general vegatation indicate moderate elevation with some seasonal rain.... 2. Only a few scattered smaller saguro cactus.. 3. Hard rock fromations. 4. The upper flag is US and the lower is Arizona It is dfinitely Arizona because of the flag and because of the cactus. The saguro cactus is only found in Arizona and northern Mexico. (OK, Maybe a VERY, VERY few in Nevada and California) The relative sparcity of smaller saguro cactus indicates that it is at he edge of the cactus range. The Harder rocks and moderarate chapparral eliminates many areas. My GUESS is that Roy's hunch is not far off OR  BTW I am a Newbie and I hope this kind of open comment is permitted Of course, I had arrived at the same conclusions, using similar investigative techniques.........
