2014 Map of Vanar

About this map

Vanar sits at the high-desert transition where the San Simon Valley meets the rising elevations of the Peloncillo Mountains. This borderland landscape is defined by the interstate corridor and the north-south boundary between Arizona and New Mexico, cutting through a region of scattered ranch roads and ephemeral watercourses. To the east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with landmarks like Steins Mtn and Attorney Mtn overlooking the drainage of Steins Cr. The arid valley floor is marked by the San Simon River and Vanar Wash, while a network of named tracks such as N Cavot Rd and Still Ridge Rd suggests the sparse, wide-open character of contemporary land use in this part of the Southwest.
