2018 Map of Kohatk

About this map

The settlement of Kohatk serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, situated where the Kohatk Valley meets the Santa Rosa Valley. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex hydrography and desert infrastructure, including the seasonal drainage of Kohatk Wash and Bitter Well Wash. To the west, the Vekol Mountains rise sharply, providing a dramatic backdrop to the valley floor. The map highlights the intersection of cultural and political geography, showing the boundary between Pinal Co and Pima Co. Indigenous transportation routes are central to the area's connectivity, with Indian Rte 42 and Indian Rte 242 branching out from the main artery of State Hwy 142. Near the northern edge, the community of Sif Vaya stands as another primary point of habitation within this arid region.
