About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate the northeastern corner of this arid landscape, overlooking the broad expanse of the San Simon Valley. Straddling the border of Arizona and New Mexico, the area is defined by its transition from the valley floor to the protected lands of the Coronado National Forest in the southwest. A striking feature of this contemporary survey is the high concentration of private landing strips and aviation-related infrastructure, including Rodeo Airport, Amigos Del Cielo Airport, and the whimsically named Lizzy Lizard Airport. These airfields, alongside roads like Community Rd and S Brittany Ln, reflect a unique residential pattern where air access is integrated into the high-desert lifestyle. Water drainage is marked by the seasonal courses of Cave Cr and the San Simon River, which carve through the basin near Hackett Canyon.
