2018 Map of Cathedral Caves

About this map

Pinaveta sits at a geographic crossroads in Yavapai County, where modern infrastructure meets the remnants of older transit corridors. The northern portion of the landscape is defined by the Old Railroad Bed and the Gleed Station Rd, tracing the historical movement of goods and people through this high-desert region. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems including Pineveta Wash, Eightmile Cr, and the significant Partridge Cr, which winds across the northern half of the map. Ranching and water management are central to this area's identity, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs such as Cathedral Tank, Red Rock Tank, and Wheeler Tank. Distinctive landforms like Smith Butte and the wide Tom Lockett Draw provide natural landmarks in a territory that spans the Coconino and Yavapai county line.
