Comondú. 1956. "An attractive subsistence farming community in the bottom of a precipitous canyon, surrounded by barren lava mesas. The valley floor is a narrow ribbon of verdue 7 mi. long fed by several springs, which provide enough water to irrigate some 700 acres of rich soil. Figs, raisins, and sugar cane are the principle crops. The complete isolation of the place, and the friendly easy-going attitude of its inhabitants, give it a sort of Shangri-La character, while the groves of date palms and the whitewashed adobe houses clustered at the foot of great frowning cliffs form a tremendously picturesque scene."

Mission building, Comondú. 1955. "The mission church, built in the 1750's, was torn down to make room for a school, but the missionaries' house is still standing and is now used as a chapel."

Kiosko, Comondú. 1957.
