2018 Map of Copperosity Hills

About this map

The Kohatk Valley and Kaka Valley converge in this high-desert landscape, where ephemeral drainages like Kohatk Wash and Kaka Wash dictate the movement of water across the arid terrain. The settlement of Totopitk sits near the junction of these desert washes, while Chiapuk is located further south along Indian Rte 242. This remote corridor is defined by prominent topographical features, including the eponymous Copperosity Hills and the distinct formation of Cathedral Rock. These peaks rise above the valley floor between the larger Vekol Mountains to the east and the Cimarron Mountains to the south. The convergence of Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties within this small area highlights the complex jurisdictional boundaries that cross this sparsely populated desert region.
