2014 Map of Cathedral Caves

About this map

Pinaveta and the western edge of Ash Fork are the primary focus of this high-desert landscape situated along the Coconino and Yavapai county line. The area's transportation history is deeply layered, showing the alignment of Historic US-66 alongside the modern interstate and an Old Railroad Bed cutting through the northern townships. The presence of numerous water sources, such as Little Pineveta Tank and Cathedral Tank, highlights the critical nature of water management in this arid environment near Smith Butte. Drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Partridge Cr and Pineveta Wash, which flow through features like Tom Lockett Draw. The map details the transition from rural ranch lands into the residential street grids developing on the outskirts of the local settlement.
