2010 Map of San Simon Cienega

About this map

San Simon Cienega dominates this high-desert landscape in the Peloncillo Mountains foothills, marking a rare and vital wetland environment along the San Simon River. This 2010 survey illustrates the remote borderlands of Cochise County, where the desert hydrology creates a distinct corridor of moisture within the arid basin. Cienega Ranch sits as the primary local landmark near the junction of County Rd C064 and Swift Trl, reflecting the area's long-standing ranching history. To the north, the presence of Flourite Pits indicates the region's mineral extraction efforts. A sparse network of roads, including Community Rd and Hivers Rd, provides the only access through this riparian zone, which serves as an important ecological marker for the San Simon Valley.
