San Simon serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, situated within the broad San Simon Valley where the seasonal San Simon River cuts through the desert floor. The town's grid is clearly defined, with residential and transport-related streets such as 1st St and 7th St bounded by Sellers Ranch Rd. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply into the Peloncillo Mountains, dominated by high points like McKenzie Peak and Gold Hill. The map illustrates a ranching and transit-oriented corridor, where deep-well water sources like Hat Top Tank and numerous named roads—including Kennedy Rd and Wood Canyon Rd—connect remote desert reaches to the central settlement and highway infrastructure. This survey documents the intersection of modern logistics and the enduring geography of the Arizona high desert.
