2014 Map of Benson

About this map

The San Pedro River serves as the primary artery through this high-desert landscape, defining the geographic orientation of the San Pedro Valley. The city of Benson occupies the center of the survey, where local street grids like W 4th St and E McNeil St meet the regional transport corridors. To the north, the agricultural legacy of the valley is evident along the Pomerene Canal near the settlement of Pomerene, while the southwestern reaches are dominated by the rugged slopes of the Coronado National Forest. This mapping records the modern footprint of these desert communities, including civic landmarks like the Benson Cem and Cochise Gardens of Rest Cem. Topographic features such as Cottonwood Canyon and Cadillac Wash show the complex drainage patterns that shape the terrain surrounding the Benson Municipal Airport.
