2020 Map of San Simon Cienega

About this map

San Simon Cienega occupies a critical wetland corridor along the border of Arizona and New Mexico, where the desert landscape of the San Simon Valley meets the rising slopes of the Peloncillo Mountains. The San Simon River winds through this arid basin, its course roughly paralleling the state line between Cochise County and Hidalgo County. The map details a network of rural routes that serve this borderlands area, including Swift Trl, Community Rd, and W Whetten Dr. This 2020 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the public land survey system, clearly marking township and range lines such as t15s r32e and t26s r21w. The intersection of riparian habitat and varied terrain provides a precise look at the hydrology and topography of this high-desert environment in the early 21st century.
