About this map

The San Pedro River dominates this arid landscape in Cochise County, flowing through the San Pedro Valley where water sources have long dictated human movement. The terrain rises sharply to the west into the Little Rincon Mountains and toward Wildhorse Mtn, while the valley floor is etched by seasonal drainages like Palomas Wash and Redrock Cr.

Evidence of early ranching and transit is found in the scattered water sources and cemeteries that dot the desert. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Apodaca Cem situated near the riverbanks, while reliable water points like Diamond Spring and Palomas Spring reflect the vital infrastructure of the high desert. Modern access is traced along N Cascabel Rd and N Ocotillo Rd, following natural corridors such as Kelsey Canyon to reach The Narrows at the southern edge of the survey.
