About this map

Shongopovi and Kykotsmovi sit atop the prominent landforms of the Hopi Reservation, where traditional village sites overlook a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal water sources. The settlement pattern follows the high ground of Second Mesa, with local roads like Shungopavi Rd and Old Domino Rd connecting these ancient communities.

A remarkable density of named water sources, such as Bluebird Spring, Ruins Spring, and White Spring, highlights the critical importance of spring water in this high-desert environment. These features, along with more uniquely named sites like Stinkbug Spring and Brownrock Spring, are often located at the base of the mesa cliffs. The presence of Taawaki further emphasizes the enduring cultural geography of the Navajo County region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
