2018 Map of Platt Well

About this map

Platt Well serves as the namesake reference point for this arid expanse in Maricopa County, where the desert landscape is defined by the stark relief of the Sand Tank Mountains in the northeast. The area's topography is carved by ephemeral drainage systems, most notably the wide reaches of Quilotosa Wash and Sauceda Wash, which indicate the seasonal flow patterns across this high desert basin. This 2018 survey illustrates a region largely characterized by its natural drainage and topographical contours rather than dense human settlement, preserving the original township and range structure including t8s r3w and t9s r3w. The map provides a precise record of the land's physical character, from the steep slopes of the mountain range to the intricate web of washes that dominate the lowlands.
