Author(s): Allen Dart

Year: 1987

Summary

The Papago Water Supply project was an effort to deliver and apply Central Arizona Project water to farmland on the Tohono O'odham (formerly Papago) Indian Reservation as part of the Southern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act of 1982. The project involved construction of a water delivery system and development of new agricultural fields in the Schuk Toak and San Xaiver districts of the Reservation, located in the Avra Valley west of Tucson, Arizona. Environmental planning studies for the Papago Water Supply project, sponsored by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, included a Class III archaeological survey of 7002 acres (10.9 square miles) in the Schuk Toak District and 13,842 acres (21.6 square miles) in the San Xavier District. This report describes and interprets the results of the archaeological survey.
