About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor defines the northern reaches of this high-desert territory, where the tracks parallel a Pipe Line through the settlement of Vanar. This mid-century survey captures a transitional landscape along the Arizona New Mexico border, where early industrial activity is seen in the Granite Quarry and the Miners Mtn Mine. To the south, the terrain ascends into the Coronado National Forest, marked by prominent landmarks such as Blue Mtn, San Simon Head, and The Nippers. Ranching life is evidenced by the Cienega Ranch, which includes a Cem and a Landing Strip, situated near the winding course of San Simon Creek. Numerous seasonal drainages like Whitetail Creek and Keating Creek provide a clear view of the hydrological patterns of the San Simon Valley before the area saw more modern development.
