San Simon Valley dominates this 2014 survey along the desert border of Graham and Cochise Counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal course of the San Simon River and several significant ephemeral channels like Sands Draw and Tule Wells Draw. These features highlight the importance of water management in this arid ranching and grazing corridor. Evidence of historical land use and habitation appears at Chaney Place, while critical water points like Martin Well and Buckeye Wash pinpoint the vital resources that supported local life and livestock in the valley. The map also captures a unique geological or terrain feature simply labeled The Fan, illustrating the complex alluvial morphology of the region.
