About this map

The Hopi Indian Reservation landscape is defined here by the dramatic escarpments of First Mesa and Antelope Mesa, separated by a complex network of seasonal drainages. In this arid environment, the placement of infrastructure is tied closely to the topography, as seen with the Hopi High Sch and its adjacent Athletic Fields situated on the higher ground of the mesa plateau. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by numerous check dams and named water sources like Sun Alter Spring and Jeddito Spring that have historically sustained life in this high desert.
