1986 Map of Kaka
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The settlement of Kaka sits at the base of the Sand Air Force Range Mountains, serving as a focal point within the Papago Indian Reservation during the mid-1980s. This desert landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Kohatk Wash and Kaka Wash, which carve through the Vekol Valley and Kaka Valley. The map reveals a land structured by traditional indigenous residency and military airspace, with the Gila and Salt River Meridian serving as a primary surveying baseline. Local life is centered around the small cluster of buildings at Kaka, including a Cem and several water tanks that suggest the vital importance of moisture management in this arid environment. Elevation markers like BM 2256 provide precise topographical data for researchers studying the transition from the valley floor to the prominent peaks of the Luke range.
