1987 Map of San Simon

About this map

San Simon sits at the heart of this desert landscape in Cochise County, where the infrastructure of agricultural and ranching life defines the terrain. The community is anchored by the San Simon River and a local Cotton Gin, alongside a Landing Strip and Rodeo Ground that speak to the varied utility of the land in the late twentieth century. A USDA Check Station further illustrates the significance of the area's transportation and commerce corridors. To the northeast, the valley floor gives way to prominent peaks and canyons. Mc Kenzie Peak and the benchmark at Gazelle 4963 overlook the drainage of Ward Canyon. Numerous water sources, such as Kings Well and Hat Top Tank, are scattered across the region, tracing the essential network of wells and tanks necessary for sustaining life and industry in this arid environment.
