2011 Map of Sells East

About this map

Sells and several nearby indigenous settlements are positioned along a series of critical ephemeral watercourses in this high-desert region of Pima County. The landscape is defined by the broad drainage patterns of Comobabi Wash and Sells Wash, which flow between the South Comobabi Mountains to the north and the Artesa Mountains to the south. Small, concentrated communities such as Chiawuli Tak, Ali Chukson, and Ali Molina are connected by a network of local roads including Artesia Rd and Fed Route 15. The settlement of Suwuk Tontk lies at the southern edge of the map, illustrating the scattered but intentional placement of dwellings near mountain runoff points. This 2011 survey illustrates the modern road infrastructure, such as Main Rd, as it integrates with traditional land use patterns and topographical features.
