1991 Map of Polacca

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Walpi, Hano, and Sichomovi sit atop the narrow southern protrusion of First Mesa, overlooking a landscape of significant cultural and geographic importance within the Hopi Indian Reservation. This 1991 provisional survey captures the dense cluster of ancient villages and more recent settlements like Polacca and Second Mesa. The map illustrates a complex relationship with the land, where the plateau's edges drop off to the Wepo Wash and Polacca Wash. Human infrastructure is integrated into this high-desert environment, from the Sunlight Mission and local Cem to a Landing Strip and Radio Tower. Several water sources, including Spider Spring, Coyote Spring, and Driftwood Spring, are noted along the mesa walls, marking the vital points that have sustained these high-elevation communities for centuries.
