Hopi Tribe, Hopi Reservation

The Hopi Tribe’s main reservation land base is located in the northeastern section of Arizona with a total area of approximately 1,622,511 acres. The tribe also owns 200 acres of industrial property in Winslow, Arizona, as well as 429,000 acres of ranch land, which is deeded, federal, and state leased property. The main reservation is bounded on all sides by the Navajo Reservation. The area consists of low lying deserts, gullies, buttes and mesas, rising as high as 7,200 feet. Most of the Reservation is open land and is used for communities, religious, farming, business, and livestock purposes. Hopi shrines, sacred natural features, and ceremonial gathering areas are located throughout the land.

Elevations in the northern highlands range from 5,800 to 7,100 feet. The southern part of the Reservation is characterized by gently rolling hills and wide valleys. Many small intermittent washes drain the highlands, fanning out on the flats or merging with the major washes in the valley. The major ground water source is the N aquifer, which provides the majority of the usable community water supply. The scarcity of water is a limiting factor in future economic or agricultural development. Hopi lands have substantial deposits of coal, generating a significant source of revenue to the Hopi tribal government.
