About this map

Kohatk sits on the desert plains of south-central Arizona, where the arid landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of ephemeral watercourses. This area, within the Tohono O'odham Nation, features the remote settlement of Sif Vaya near the northern edge of the Vekol Mountains. The map illustrates the transition from the mountainous terrain of the west to the broad reaches of the Santa Rosa Valley and the Kohatk Valley, providing a detailed look at the local road network including Az-142 and Bia-242.

Surface water is represented by seasonal channels such as Bitter Well Wash and Kohatk Wash, which carve through the basin. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the jurisdictional boundary between Pinal and Pima Counties, crossing the landscape just south of the main village. This document records the spatial organization of these desert communities and their relationship to the vital natural washes that sustain life in the Sonoran environment.
