Figure 4: The road segments extending from the Muddy Water community
clearly do not align with any of the cost-paths that minimize intercommunity
travel time. This roadway may have instead facilitated travel to a spring
found at the base of Lobo Mesa. Note the presence of a small Great House
southeast of the community that does align with important cost-paths. The
grayscale background represents concentric gradients of travel cost away
from the community.
