About this map

The San Pedro River flows through the heart of the San Pedro Valley in this Cochise County landscape, providing a riparian corridor that contrasts with the surrounding high desert. Near the northern edge of Benson, the terrain is defined by complex drainage systems such as Tres Alamos Wash, Ash Creek, and Cadillac Wash. The presence of Willow Lake and various agricultural developments indicates the critical role of water management in this arid region.

Elevations rise toward the northwest into the Little Rincon Mountains, while the basin floor is marked by the Galleta Flat and the community of Pomerene. To the southwest, the Benson Municipal Airport serves as a modern waypoint. This survey details a transition from the structured residential street grids of Benson's outskirts, such as those along W Vista Dr and W Willow Way, to the more expansive ranch lands and canyons like Cornfield Canyon to the east.
