2021 Map of Platt Well

About this map

Sand Tank Mountains dominate the northeastern reaches of this Maricopa County terrain, where the high ridges give way to an extensive network of drainage basins. The arid landscape is defined by the course of Quilotosa Wash, which meanders across the central and eastern sections, and Sauceda Wash in the southwest. This 2021 survey reveals a territory largely devoid of modern development, preserved instead as a complex topography of alluvial fans and mountain slopes. The lack of built infrastructure highlights the natural hydrology of the Sonoran Desert, making it a critical reference for understanding the primitive drainage patterns and land divisions within the Public Land Survey System, including townships t8s r3w and t9s r3w.
