2021 Map of Pisinimo

About this map

Pisinimo serves as a central hub in this arid landscape of Pima County, situated at the junction of several desert transit routes including Indian Rte 21 and Indian Rte 28. The settlement pattern is defined by its relationship to the broad Quijotoa Valley, where seasonal drainages like Pisinimo Wash and Hali Murk Wash dictate the topography. Small, discrete residential clusters such as Peach Pu to the north and Viason Chin to the south illustrate the traditional dispersed settlement structure of the Tohono O'odham Nation. These communities are linked by a network of specialized roads like Indian Rte 1, which traverses the valley floor. The map records a moment where modern infrastructure meets the ancient natural flow of the San Simon Wash and Gu Vo Wash, providing an essential view of local geography and land use in southern Arizona.
