The Gila River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and agriculture in this borderland region between Arizona and New Mexico. The town of Duncan sits along the northern banks, while Franklin and Virden lie further southeast, connected by the historical routing of Old US Hwy 70. A sophisticated irrigation network, including the New Model Canal, Sunset Canal, and Valley Canal, draws from the river to support the valley floors beneath the high plateaus of Pearson Mesa and Hunter Flat.
