1987 Map of Vanar NW

About this map

San Simon River winds through this arid Cochise County landscape, where the flat valley floor meets the rising contour lines of the southern terrain. This 1980s-era survey reveals a sparsely populated region defined by its water management and transportation infrastructure. Numerous Well sites are scattered across the quadrangle, underscoring the critical importance of groundwater for the remote ranches and operations in this high-desert environment. The presence of a prominent Pipeline and multiple Landing Strip locations suggests a landscape oriented toward resource transport and aerial access. In the southern portion of the map, East Whitetail Creek provides further drainage as the topography becomes more complex, offering a detailed view of the natural watercourses before they reach the main river basin.
