About this map

Sells serves as the focal point of this 2014 geographic study, situated where the Sells Valley meets the rising elevations of the South Comobabi Mountains. The map documents a cluster of settlements and educational institutions within the Tohono O'odham Nation, including the Tohono O'odham Community Coll and the village of Ali Chukson. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems like Sells Wash and Comobabi Wash that carve through the arid terrain, illustrating how water and topography influence the placement of local roads such as Az-86 and Artesia Rd.

The southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the Artesa Mountains and the small settlement of Artesa, along with outlying locales like Suwuk Tontk and Ali Molina. The infrastructure shown, including Main Rd and Old Topawa Rd, reveals the connection between these desert communities and the larger Baboquivari Valley to the southeast. This layout provides a clear view of how residential and educational hubs are integrated into the alluvial plains and mountain foothills.
