2018 Map of Putnam Wash

About this map

The Tortilla Mountains define this arid landscape in Pinal County, where drainage systems like Putnam Wash and Bloodsucker Wash carve through the high desert terrain. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by localized features such as Antelope Tank, Cowhead Tank, and the isolated Putnam Spring. The Arizona National Scenic Trail traverses the region, threading through canyons and over ridges, providing a modern connection across this historically remote corridor. Named after the historic military site to the south, Camp Grant Wash serves as a major geographical marker, cutting a broad path toward the Gila River valley. The presence of Antelope Peak and several minor washes like James Wash and Palmer Wash illustrate the complex topography that has historically challenged travelers and stockmen alike in this corner of the Southwest.
