1996 Map of Soza Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The San Pedro Valley serves as the focal point for this 1996 survey of the high desert corridor in Cochise County. The San Pedro River winds through the southwestern corner, anchoring a landscape where riparian life meets the arid slopes of the Little Dragoon Mountains. Near the small settlement of Cascabel, the map records the Majalca Ranch and a lone Cemetery, marking the long-standing human presence in this river valley. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward the expansive Soza Mesa, a high plateau dissected by deep drainage systems like Poor Canyon and Hot Springs Canyon. This map captures a transition from the lower river basin to the rugged uplands, where vital water sources such as Hackberry Spring and Sierra Blanca Spring were essential for the cattle ranching and early prospecting efforts signaled by a Prospect in the south. The isolation of the Teran Basin underscores the difficulty of travel through these canyons before modern infrastructure.
