2021 Map of San Jose

About this map

San Jose and the surrounding Gila Valley define this landscape, where early agricultural irrigation patterns remain visible along the Gila River. Small agricultural hubs like Buena Vista, Sanchez, and Gripe are connected by a network of local roads such as Old Sanchez Rd and Old Hwy 70. The importance of water management to these valley settlements is evidenced by the San Jose Canal and Brown Canal, which parallel the river to feed the local fields. Genealogy researchers can locate several key burial sites including San Jose Cem, Sanchez Cem, and Solomon Cem. To the south, the terrain opens into the San Simon Valley, where the San Simon River and San Jose Wash drain the arid landscape toward the main river channel.
