I was informed there is no municipal flag bearing the municipal coat of arms, but it would appear there is not.

It is believed the coat of arms was adopted in 1996, by Ramón Ángel Ortega Dicochea, realized through a contest held in the secondary school Raúl Rivera Cota.
The coat of arms is divided into three, with a
line representing the Santa Cruz river forking off to the right. Just above the shield are the words "SANTA MARIA DE SUANQUI", the old Spanish mission in the area, and below
it is a green ribbon reading "SANTA CRUZ - SONORA". The upper third triangle depicts a tractor in the fields with a view of the mountains; a Yaqui Indian dancer extends through
to the outside of the shield, a symbol of the state's culture. The left third depicts a grassland reading "GANADERIA" [Cattle-raising] with mountains overlooking it,
having a small cross within. Also above is a head of cattle. To the right is an image of the local church and five apples; below is the word "AGRICULTURA". The local
economy mostly revolves around agriculture and cattle-raising. At the section where the river forks off, there is a cross in bronze reading the year 1637, the year colonizer
Pedro de Perea entered the region.
