Description:Excerpt from Contributions to the Hydrology of the United States: 1917 San Simon Valley is in southeastern Arizona and the adjacent part of New Mexico. Most of the valley lies in Graham and Cochise counties, Ariz., but a small part of it is in Grant County, N. Mex. (See fig. 1.) The valley extends north-northwestward for 85 miles from the head of San Bernardino Valley, 20 miles north of the Mexican boundary, to the Gila Valley. Its southern part is narrow, averaging about 10 miles in width. It widens toward the north, reaching a maximum width of 35 miles where it is crossed by the Southern Pacific Railroad. North of the railroad it narrows to about 25 miles at a point where it opens into the Gila Valley. Development. The first white settlers came into San Simon Valley in the early seventies. As the climate was arid and dry-farming methods had not been developed, and as there seemed to be no available supply of water for irrigation, they depended for a livelihood upon stock raising. For this purpose the region was particularly well adapted. In the central parts of the valley grass for summer grazing is ordinarily abundant, and the mountains furnish pasturage for the fall and winter, when the grass in the valleys becomes scarce.
