Tomorrow Saturday 18Feb2023, the President of Mexico will inaugurate the new paved highway (in Blue) from Agua Prieta, Sonora (across the US Border from Douglas AZ) down to Bavispe, which is about a 1.5 hour drive or less. (Google Maps says 2 hours 33 minutes, but this is not correct). This paved highway winds along, passing through the old Mormon Colony historic sites of (North to South) Colonia San José, Colonia Morelos, & Colonia Oaxaca, making them much more readily accessible then they have ever been before.
This will also create a completely paved loop such that, for example, you can drive South from Agua Prieta to Fronteras-Nacozari-Cumpas-Moctezuma and then drive Easterly to Huasabas and Aribabi, and then North Easterly to Huachinera-Bacerac-Bavispe-San Miguel and back to Agua Prieta. Or you could do just the opposite. The Presa La Angustura (the large lake) lies right in the middle of the loop, as seen on the map.
