About this map

The confluence of the Gila River and the San Pedro River anchors this desert landscape in southern Arizona. The neighboring towns of Hayden and Winkelman sit at this vital junction, where the river valley transitions into the rising slopes of the Tortilla Mountains. Industrial footprints are evident near the riverbanks, particularly along Asarco Dr and the local rail infrastructure, reflecting the long-standing copper-processing economy of the region.

Further south, the community of Dudleyville follows the eastern bank of the San Pedro River, while the Dudleyville Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for local families. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, including Romero Wash and Swingle Wash, which carve paths toward the main river channels from the Horse Hills and the prominent Cedar Mtn. This map captures the intricate balance between small-town settlement and the harsh, water-dependent geography of the high desert.
