2014 Map of Kaka

About this map

The settlement of Kaka serves as the focal point for this desert landscape, situated at a junction where modern infrastructure meets the ancient drainage systems of the Sonoran region. Located near the Maricopa Co Pima Co boundary line, the area is defined by the broad Kaka Valley and the prominent Sano Tank Mountains to the northwest. This 2014 survey documents a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia-342 and Bia-23, which provide access through the arid terrain. The map records the natural hydrology of the basin, dominated by the intermittent Kohatk Wash and Kaka Wash. The inclusion of Pipeline Rd underscores the utility-based development of the valley, while the detailed topography illustrates how human habitation and transportation routes have been shaped by the presence of these seasonal washes and mountain foothills.
