2014 Map of Supai

About this map

Supai is the central focus of this 2014 survey, located at the confluence of several massive drainage systems. The settlement is positioned near the dramatic descent of Havasu Cr, which feeds the famous Fiftyfoot Falls. This landscape is defined by its verticality, with named landmarks like Watahomigie Point and Manakacha Point towering over the canyon floor. The map records the intricate network of canyons, including Hualapai Canyon and Cataract Canyon, which serve as the primary conduits for travel and water in this arid environment. Beyond the residential center, the survey identifies important water sources such as Havasu Springs and Panya Tank, which are vital for life in the deep canyon reaches. The presence of Bia-18 indicates the managed access to these traditional lands, while features like Schoolhouse Canyon and Wigleeva highlight the localized cultural and natural landmarks of the region.
