The boundary, as written into law

Every American wine appellation is defined in federal regulations by walking the boundary landmark by landmark. The official description of this one begins:

(c) Bouldary: (1) General. The Sonoita viticultural area is located in Arizona. The starting point of the following boundary description is the summit of Mount Wrightson (9,543 feet) in the Santa Rita Mountains. (ii) From there in a straight line eastward for approximately 10 miles, to the summit of Huachuca Peak (8,410 feet) in the Huachuca Mountains. (iii) From there north-northwestward for approximately 21 miles...
