Upstream sections are located in far western Pima County; downstream it merges into the Gila River Valley in southwestern Maricopa County. Upstream, the valley lies northeast and parallel to the Growler Valley and Growler Mountains.[1][2]

The west part of the upper valley contains Daniels Wash which flows north, then west at the north end of the Growler Mountains to meet Growler Wash, the upstream, southern region of the San Cristobal Valley watershed.[3] The eastern part of the upper Childs Valley contains Childs Wash, the western tributary to the Tenmile Wash watershed.[4] The Childs Wash drains the northwest of the Little Ajo Mountains, where Ajo, Arizona is on its east.
