About this map

Mowa`api lies at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Navajo County, showcasing the enduring presence of Hopi settlements in the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral Oraibi Wash, which courses through the southern portion of the quadrangle, carving a distinct path through the mesas. To the northeast, the historic village of Oraibi appears along the edge of the survey, connected by local routes such as Main St.

Modern infrastructure is represented by Indian Rte 13, which traverses the arid expanses of the Hopi Reservation. The land is organized by traditional township and range divisions, such as t28n r15e, highlighting the intersection of ancient cultural landscapes with federal surveying systems. This map captures a moment in the modern administration of these lands, emphasizing the network of local roads that link these isolated communities.
