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.
