2013 Map of Rodeo

About this map

The border community of Rodeo sits at the intersection of the San Simon Valley and the Peloncillo Mountains, marking a distinct threshold between the high desert floor and the rising peaks of the Coronado National Forest. This 2013 survey documents the sparse settlement patterns along the Arizona and New Mexico line, where the local economy is anchored by established family operations like Miller Ranch and Darnell Ranch. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, from the ephemeral San Simon River to the deep incisions of Horseshoe Canyon and Owl Canyon in the south.
