About this map

The San Pedro River serves as the central artery for this mid-1940s landscape, where a network of family-run operations and homesteads define the settlement pattern along the river valley. Ranches such as the Bingham Ranch, CarLink Ranch, and Cascabel Ranch line the corridor, reflecting a pastoral economy anchored by water access in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of the Pool Sch and the Jackson Mine near Jackson Cabin indicates a established community structure that supported both agricultural and extractive industries.

Evidence of shifting habitation is visible at the Soza Ranch (abandoned) and the small settlement at Cascabell. The topography is dominated by the deep incisions of Redfield Canyon and Soza Canyon, which drain into the main river valley from the surrounding heights of the Crook National Forest and Coronado National Forest. This survey captures the rural character of the region before significant modern development, preserving the locations of remote windmills, tanks, and springs essential for survival.
