El Rancho Duarte fue fundado cuando el llamado “oro blanco” empezó a marcar un periodo de prosperidad para el valle de Mexicali. Su arquitectura de adobe, las características de su conjunto como recinto dedicado a la producción y su emplazamiento resultan excepcionales. El rancho forma parte de un episodio histórico relevante para la región noroeste de México; pero, además de ser identificado por su exitosa y amplia producción, sirvió de destino para una élite estadounidense dedicada al turismo cinegético. A ochenta años de su fundación, la agricultura dejó de ser un sustento y –a pesar de los ánimos de conservarlo– el lugar presenta cierto deterioro. Ahora, la cercanía con el delta del Río Colorado y el Alto Golfo de California definen cierta prospectiva en pos de reutilizar el casco y valorar elementos del paisaje natural de su entorno.
