The San Simon Valley defines the topography of this high-desert region in Cochise County, where the dry bed of the San Simon River cuts through the northeast. This 2014 survey centers on the namesake settlement of Olga, a site historically tied to the Southern Pacific railroad line that bisects the landscape. The infrastructure here reflects a mix of transit and industry, most notably marked by the Yellow Hammer Mill located along the river's northern reach. A grid of local thoroughfares, including Olga Rd, Pipeline Rd, and Camino Sabrino, provides access to the surrounding townships and ranges. This edition captures the sparse but persistent human footprint in the Arizona desert, where mining history and rail transportation once anchored small outposts like Olga against the backdrop of the open valley.
