About this map

Supai serves as the focal point of this 1980s landscape, situated within the Havasupai Indian Reservation where the perennial waters of Havasu Creek flow toward the north. The settlement is positioned near unique cultural and topographical landmarks like the Wigleeva rock formations and the cascading Navajo Falls. Local history is anchored by the Navajo Falls Cem and other designated Cems near the village, indicating long-standing occupation in this isolated canyon environment.

Transportation throughout the region relies on a network of trails and aerial access rather than traditional roads. The Pack Trail winds through the deep corridor of Hualapai Canyon, connecting the village to the Hualapai Hilltop Heliport to the southwest. This reliance on the Radio Facility Heliport and various landing strips highlights the area's geological separation from the surrounding Long Mesa, where landmarks like Watahomigie Point and Manakacha Point overlook the drainage systems of Cataract Creek Canyon.
