About this map

Tortilla Mts define the high ground of this Pinal County landscape, anchored by the prominent Antelope Peak. The terrain is deeply etched by an intricate network of desert drainages, most notably Putnam Wash and Bloodsucker Wash, which flow through a territory characterized by mid-century ranching operations. Human presence in this arid environment is marked by scattered infrastructure, including the Tunnel Ranch and Cactus Hill Ranch. To support livestock across the desert floor, numerous water sources were established, from the Antelope Well and Whitehead Well to strategically placed catchments like Cowhead Tank. An underground pipe line cuts through the topography, reflecting the region's necessary focus on water management and resource transport during the post-war era.
