About this map

Sil Nakya sits at the heart of the Papago Indian Reservation in Pima County, serving as a primary settlement node during the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the elevation changes of the North Comobabi Mountains and the Sil Nakya Hills, where the seasonal Sil Nakya Wash cuts through the desert terrain. Water access is critical in this environment, evidenced by named sites such as Nawt Vaya Well and Frog Well scattered across the Sil Nakya Valley. Religious and communal life centers on the St Agatha Mission, accompanied by two local Cem sites. This survey records a network of primitive transportation, including a Jeep Trail and various Trail segments that connect the settlement to outlying landmarks like Mt Devine and isolated prospects. Distinctive markers such as Edn Hugham Sunday and several Uslm stations provide valuable coordinates for local historical research.
