San Simon sits at the intersection of the desert valley floor and the rising slopes of the northeast, where the San Simon River winds through the San Simon Valley. This 2014 survey captures the community’s layout along the Interstate 10 corridor, characterized by a grid of local roads like N Mahan Rd and N Parker Rd that serve the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. To the northeast, the terrain transitions into a cluster of prominent elevations, most notably McKenzie Peak and Gold Hill. These peaks provide a natural boundary to the valley, while isolated water sources such as Hat Top Tank highlight the importance of water management in this arid Cochise County landscape. The map details the modern transportation network, including W Bus I-10 and several rural routes like W Sellers Ranch Rd, reflecting the region’s role as a transit point between Arizona and New Mexico.
