About this map

Kaka and the surrounding desert landscape of the Papago Indian Reservation define this late-1950s survey of southern Arizona. The terrain is dominated by the Sand Tank Mountains and Sauceda Mountains, with the prominent landmark Squaw Tit rising near the center of the sheet. The northern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the Luke Air Force Range, signaling the military presence in the region during the Cold War era.

Small settlements and essential desert infrastructure appear at Moi Vaya and Moivayi, supported by critical water sources like Sand Tank Well and Paradise Well. Genealogists may find interest in the Kaka Cem, while the intricate network of desert drainages including Sand Tank Wash, Kohatk Wash, and Quilotoa Wash illustrates the hydrological patterns that dictated settlement in the Hickiwan Valley and Kaka Valley.
