About this map

Oraibi Mesa dominates this Navajo County landscape, where ancient settlement patterns and modern infrastructure meet along the high plateaus of Arizona. The map details the proximity of Hotevilla, Bacavi, and the southern community of Oraibi, revealing a geography defined by traditional Hopi places such as Huk Ovi, Mumurva, and Pivahn-hon-kya-pi. These locations are connected by a network of thoroughfares including Indian Rte 9 and Indian Rte 13, which navigate the elevation changes between the mesa tops and the surrounding desert floor.

Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are specifically marked at Hotevilla Spring and the springs of Siwukuva and Hawtipi. The topographical data highlights the significant landforms that have shaped life here for generations, from the prominent Oraibi Butte to the high grounds of Mahtson-pi. The survey provides an exacting look at the boundaries of T30N and T29N, capturing the spatial relationship between residential areas and the surrounding natural landmarks.
