Yavpe

The Yavpé, or northwestern Yavapai, occupied the highlands and valleys around the Bradshaw Mountains and the Agua Fria River. They formed one of several Yavapai groups whose lands stretched across the country east of the Colorado River. These communities were linked by language and kinship, but each acted independently in its alliances and dealings with neighboring peoples. The Yavpé homeland lay between the western Yavapai country and the Verde Valley, amid a landscape of mountain ridges and dry valleys.

The later city of Phoenix lies here.
