2011 Map of Sells West

About this map

Sells serves as the primary hub in this desert landscape, where the local transportation network of Big Field Rd and several Indian Routes converge. The geography is defined by a system of ephemeral watercourses including Murk Kui Wash, Sells Wash, and Pan Wash, which pattern the arid terrain. Scattered settlements and named localities such as Pan Nepodk, Etoi Ki, and Suwuk Tontk indicate the enduring human presence in the Tohono O'odham Nation. A prominent landmark, Bird Nest Hill, stands near the Bird Nest Tank, while the Sells Airport provides a modern aeronautical connection to this part of Pima County. The alignment of these features suggests a community closely tied to its desert washes and traditional road corridors.
