2011 Map of Moivayi

About this map

Moivayi occupies a quiet central position in this arid Sonoran landscape, defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage channels that shape the local geography. The settlement is linked to the surrounding area by Indian Rte 13, which traverses the southern portion of the territory. This 2011 survey captures a region where water management and topography are deeply intertwined, as seen in the prominent Sano Tank Mountains to the northeast. These mountains oversee several major ephemeral watercourses, including Sauceda Wash in the west, Kohatk Wash in the east, and the meandering Kaka Wash that cuts through the center of the sheet. The spatial relationship between these features reflects a landscape where travel and habitation are dictated by the natural flow of the desert washes and the reach of local mountain ranges.
