2011 Map of Vanar

About this map

Vanar occupies a high-desert corridor where the northern reaches of the Peloncillo Mountains meet the drainage basin of the San Simon River. This arid landscape is defined by its transit history, serving as a critical pass between the peaks of Steins Mountain and Attorney Mountain. The presence of the Cavot Interchange and the settlement at Barnes Ranch illustrates the transition from traditional ranching lands to modern interstate connectivity. Hydrological features like Vanar Wash and Steins Creek dictate the local topography, carving paths through the terrain that historical travelers and current residents alike must navigate. A network of rural routes, including Barnes Rd and W Ratliff Rd, provides access to the family-held lands and remote ranching outposts that characterize this borderlands region of Cochise County.
