About this map

The San Pedro River corridor defines the eastern edge of this landscape, carving through the high desert of the Pinal and Pima County border. This 2018 survey illustrates a complex network of seasonal drainages, including the prominent Peppersauce Wash and the southern reaches of Catalina Wash, which feed into the river basin. The terrain rises sharply toward the Little Black Hills and the deep incisions of Alder Canyon, reflecting the topographical transition from the valley floor to the surrounding highlands.

Remote ranching and mining history are evidenced by localized road networks such as 3C Ranch Rd, Tom Rhodes Ranch Rd, and the Black Hills Mine Rd. These routes, alongside S Reddington Rd, provide access to the rugged interior where Stratton Wash and Geesaman Wash cross the arid flats. This map is an essential resource for understanding modern land use and historical access points within this sparsely populated segment of the San Pedro valley.
