The range extends into southwest New Mexico and parts of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Sinaloa in Mexico.〔Little. ''Atlas of United States Trees, Volume 3, Minor Western Hardwoods'', Map 113, ''Platanus wrightii''〕 In Arizona the range extends south towards northern Sonora. The range in southeast Arizona is a northeasterly part of the Sonoran Desert, and is at the northern region of the Sierra Madre Occidental cordillera. Arizona sycamore is prevalent in riparian areas of the Madrean Sky Islands, mountain sky islands in southeast Arizona, extreme southwest, Bootheel region of New Mexico, northeastern Sonora, and extreme northwest Chihuahua).〔Little, Map 113, ''Platanus wrightii''〕 The species is more prevalent west of the Madrean Sky Islands region, still in the central and northeast Sonoran Desert, an area around the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument at the Arizona-Sonora border, with the species range extending in Sonora in the Occidentals, or its western foothills. Scattered reports have been made farther east in the Sierra Madre Occidental.
