Nyanja Yaikulu ndi gulu lokonzekera lomwe linamangidwa kuzungulira masomphenya a kusungidwa ndi kusunga. Dziko lachirengedwe lozungulira nyumba iliyonse likusungidwa ndi kusasokonezeka. Malo okwana 6,160 pamwamba pa nyanja, deralo ndilo mamita 1000 pamwamba pa Rio Grande . Zomera zakuthupi zimaphatikizapo mbira ndi maluwa amwenye, ndi kusungirako madzi monga chofunikira kwambiri ku nzeru za anthu. Nyumba zimangidwe kuti zigwirizane ndi chilengedwe.
Mofanana ndi Mesa del Sol kumwera, izo zinalinganiziridwa ndi dongosolo linalake mu malingaliro. Nyanja Yaikulu inamangidwa ndi lingaliro lakuti chitukuko chiyenera kuchitika mkati mwa chilengedwe chake. Lili ndi mapangano oletsa omwe amapereka maumbidwe ndi zomangamanga kuti akhalebe malo osatha ndi kuyang'anitsitsa. Kudzipereka kwa mderalo pokhala ndi chikhalidwe chachilengedwe kumatsimikiziridwa ndi zolemba zonse, zomwe zimajambula zithunzi zamitundu ya gamma. Udzu wamtunduwu ukhoza kupezeka mu malo a chilengedwe, pamodzi ndi chipululu, pinon, ndi zomera zina. Misewu ndi mayendedwe amamtunda amayendetsa malowa, kulola malo okhalamo, kuthamanga, ndi kuwombera.
Pomwe madzi akukula kumwera cha kumadzulo, anthu omwe ali pamwamba pa dera lam'mwamba amalimbikitsa njira zokolola madzi zomwe zimathandiza kuti madzi azikhalabe osatha. Kukonzekera kungapezekanso momwe nyumba zimayendera, komanso pakupanga nyumba zokhala ndi matenthedwe abwino.
Dera lamapiri lakumidzi lakhala likudzipereka kuti lisunge malo ake omasuka. Mitengoyi imakhalabe pafupi ndi chilengedwe. Kukonza maere kumakhala kosasokonezeka kupitirira nyumbayo, ndipo miyezo yoyatsa magetsi imayambitsa kuipitsa malo osachepera, kulola kuti mawonedwe a nyenyezi komanso maulendo a usiku apitirize kumudzi.

Mudzi uliwonse m'mphepete mwa nyanja uli ndi mapulani osiyana siyana m'madera akum'mwera chakumadzulo. Makhalidwe apanyumba amakhala mu mtengo kuchokera m'ma 200s kufika pa madola milioni. Mizinda ndi mankhwala amapanga zinthu zosiyana kwambiri, monga The Legends, yomwe imakhala ndi miyala mkati ndi kunja kwa nyumbayo, kapena Chaco Compound, yomwe ili ndi misewu kutsogolo ndi galasi kulowa kumbuyo kwa nyumba.
