2018 Map of Vanar

About this map

Vanar sits at the edge of the Peloncillo Mountains along the Arizona and New Mexico border, serving as a distinct marker of the high desert passage between the two states. This 2018 survey documents the arid landscape of the San Simon Valley, where the seasonal waters of Vanar Wash cut through the terrain. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of major transportation routes and the natural drainage patterns that have historically dictated movement through this borderland region. While the settlement itself is small, it remains a critical geographic point for those tracing the development of interstate corridors and the sparse, resilient habitation patterns of the Southwest.
