1948 Map of Peppersauce Wash

About this map

The San Pedro River corridor defines this arid landscape along the border of Pinal and Pima counties. This post-war survey illustrates a high-desert environment where water management was critical for survival and industry, evidenced by the scattered distribution of tanks, a Windmill, and a notable Artesian Well (Hot) near the northern boundary. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems including Peppersauce Wash, Catalina Wash, and Alder Wash, all of which feed into the primary river valley to the east.
