1996 Map of Pisinimo

About this map

Pisinimo serves as a primary settlement within the Tohono O'Odham Indian Reservation, situated near the convergence of desert drainages. This late-twentieth-century study of the Arizona desert landscape reveals a network of seasonal watercourses like Gu Vo Wash and Simon Wash that define the valley's character. The map identifies specific communal sites including a Cemetery and Sewage Disposal Ponds near the main village, alongside historic markers of human occupation at Vlason Chin (Site) and Hali Murk (Site). Surveyed at the intersection of the Gila And Salt River Meridian, the terrain transitions from the lowlands into the elevated reaches of the Quijotoa range, capturing a transition between ancient habitation sites and modern reservation infrastructure.
