2018 Map of Kaka

About this map

The settlement of Kaka serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, situated at the intersection of Indian Rte 242 and Indian Rte 23. The geography is defined by broad alluvial drainage systems, notably the Kohatk Wash and Kaka Wash, which carve through the desert terrain south of the Sano Tank Mountains. These ephemeral waterways shape the Kaka Valley, illustrating the classic basin-and-range hydrology where seasonal runoff dictates the placement of infrastructure and habitation. The presence of Pipeline Rd running through the southern reaches of the quadrangle highlights the intersection of modern utility corridors with traditional routes. Straddling the Maricopa Co Pima Co boundary, the area maintains a sparse but deliberate network of roads that reflect the remote character of this region in the late 2010s.
