2012 Map of Benson

About this map

The San Pedro River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and commerce in this portion of Cochise County. The city of Benson is the focal point, positioned where major transportation interchanges meet the river's path, supported by local infrastructure like the Benson Municipal Airport and San Pedro Golf Course. To the north, the community of Pomerene and the Pomerene Canal illustrate the importance of water management in this arid environment, while the tiny settlement of Chamiso and the Post Ranch to the southwest reflect the more dispersed ranching and rural character of the land. Significant local history is preserved at the Benson Cem and Cochise Gardens of Rest Cem. Southward, the terrain transitions into the protected slopes of the Coronado National Frst, providing a sharp contrast to the developed corridors of Whetstone and the various recreational vehicle resorts clustered along the highway.
