About this map

The San Pedro River valley defines this desert landscape, where the confluence of several major drainages supported a series of ranching outposts in the early 1980s. The settlement of Redington serves as the focal point, situated near the junction of Edgar Canyon and the river's fertile floodplain. Notable land use patterns are visible through the inclusion of the Bingham Ranch and Bayless Ranch, indicating the persistent cattle-ranching heritage of this Pima County corridor.

Remote infrastructure is meticulously documented, including a Landing Strip for aerial access and a Pipeline cutting across the high ground between Redfield Canyon and Aguja Canyon. Local genealogy and settlement history are anchored by a small Cem near the river and the presence of Ruins to the north, suggesting older occupation layers. The complex drainage network, from Bollen Wash to Soza Wash, highlights how seasonal water sources dictated the placement of tanks like Sheep Camp Tank in the higher elevations.
