The municipality does not use a flag with its coat of arms, as confirmed to me by the Municipal Council.

The coat of arms was adopted in 1983 and designed by Manuel García Madrid, being asked to do so by the council. Description of the coat of arms, according to the Encyclopedia of Municipalities and Delegations of Mexico:

The upper part of the quadrangle is rolled in its corners into two scrolls facing down; the lower part is enclosed in its curves which are joined at the point, similar to the coat of arms of Sonora. A corn plant divides the quadrangle into two vertical halves and into four quadrants. Corn is the base of nourishment for the inhabitants of the municipality.

In the upper left quadrant are the most representative architectural displays of the municipal seat of the same name, mounted over agricultural productions which it favors; to the background a profile view of the hill of Soropuchi and part of the Las Conchas hill, famous for its fossil remains of marine species which can be found in it; all of this is in a green field which symbolizes the first of the colors of our representative fatherland.

In the upper right quadrant is the graceful figure of a batepi (mapache, in nahuatl) devouring a cob of corn; to the background a cornfield of this cereal over a white field, the second of the colors of the National Flag. In the lower left quadrant is the wealth in livestock of the municipality, with a cattle head and other of equine.
In the lower right quadrant, it shows us the wild fauna most abundant in the municipality. The field of the lower quadrants is red, third color of the National Flag, and both quadrants have it as a background. The Pilares of Bacamacori located in the boundaries of the municipality in its southeast region.
To the center of the coat of arms, the contour of the municipality and the marine species fossilized in the hill of Las Conchas.
Coat of arms bordered in gold, crowned by the main rib of a cactus with five prickly pears which represent the five towns of the municipality: Arivechi, Bámori, Tarachi, Pónida and Agua Buena.
A ribbon...clings to the middle of the coat of arms and carries the name of the founder of the mission of San Francisco Javier de Arivetzi, the Jesuit father Pedro Méndez, showing the foundation year 1617.
At the sides of the coat of arms are various instruments of work and others which suggest mining activity; in the lower part a scroll is planted with the municipal motto Lucha, Piensa, Persevera [Fight, Think, Persevere].
