About this map

The San Pedro River corridor serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this portion of Cochise County. The Southern Pacific railroad parallels the river, connecting a series of rail-side points like Sibyl, Tully, and Fenner. Along the riverbanks, the town of St David is centered near a High School and several Artesian Wells, indicating the importance of irrigation in this arid landscape.

Evidence of earlier eras persists in the southern reaches, where the Quiburi Mission (Ruins) and Contention (Ruins) mark historical occupation sites. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Coronado National Forest and the Dragoon Mountains, featuring landmarks like Council Rocks and the Stronghold. These upland areas are dotted with mining activity, including a Shaft, Tunnel, and multiple Prospects in Jordan Canyon.
