Written in the late 20th century, this book serves as a practical resource that provides insights into the historical and archaeological significance of the site, offering an informative look at the ancient Hohokam culture that thrived there more than 650 years ago. The book outlines a marked trail that stretches approximately 400 yards, leading readers through various points of interest within the monument. Each segment provides detailed explanations of the structures, such as the Casa Grande or "Big House," and surrounding village walls, highlighting the historical context of the Hohokam civilization, their architectural techniques, social structure, agricultural practices, and the eventual abandonment of the area.
