1987 Map of San Simon Cienega

About this map

San Simon River meanders across the state boundary of Arizona and New Mexico in this 1980s landscape of the high desert. The area is defined by the San Simon Cienega, a vital wetland system indicated by numerous wells scattered throughout the valley floor. Human activity is concentrated around Cienega Ranch, which includes a nearby Cem and a Landing Strip for regional access. The map reveals the logistical realities of this border region, where Cochise and Hidalgo counties meet amidst a terrain marked by intermittent water sources and small-scale industrial features like a Gravel pit. This survey documents a quiet ranching and riparian corridor before modern developments altered the character of these western wetlands.
