1981 Map of Soza Canyon

About this map

The San Pedro River valley defines this landscape on the boundary of Pima and Cochise counties, where riparian life contrasts with the arid uplands of the Rincon Mountains. The small community of Cascabel serves as the primary point of settlement, characterized by a series of family-held properties such as the Spear Ranch, Cascabel Ranch, and Bar LY Ranch. The presence of a Cascabel School (Site) and a Gleeson Ranch (Site) suggests the shifting nature of rural life in the high desert, while a Cem and scattered Ruins provide tangible links to early homesteaders and ranchers.
