About this map

The San Pedro River serves as the primary artery through this high-desert landscape in Cochise County, anchoring a network of irrigation works essential to the local valley economy. The Pomerene Canal and Saint David Ditch flank the river, tracing the contours of the San Pedro Valley to support agricultural life in settlements like St. David and Curtiss. These features illustrate the enduring reliance on gravity-fed water systems in a region defined by its arid climate.

Evidence of historical transit and land use is visible in the network of local roads such as E Taylor Pass and the residential clusters at Fenner and Lonesome Valley. To the east, the terrain rises toward the rugged drainage of Dragoon Wash and Slavin Wash, where the landscape becomes more dissected as it approaches Stronghold Canyon West. The map captures a moment where traditional river-valley settlement patterns meet modern residential expansion.
