2018 Map of Vanar NW

About this map

The San Simon Valley dominates this corner of Cochise County, where the desert floor is etched by the meandering path of the San Simon River and the seasonal flow of Vanar Wash. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape defined by its grid of rural roads, many bearing local family names that suggest a history of ranching and agriculture in the high desert. Notable among these are W Dan Barnes Rd, Holloway Rd, and N Pattern Farms Rd, which carve the valley into distinct parcels. To the southwest, the terrain begins to rise toward the mountains, marked by the drainage of E Whitetail Cr and the winding course of Wood Canyon Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary pattern of land use where large-scale irrigation and modern roadways like Ratliff Rd intersect with the natural watercourses of the Arizona interior.
