The valley rises to an elevation of approximately 600 feet, forming a natural low point in the surrounding mountain range, and serves as a primary residential area in Pago Pago village.
Artifacts, such as open, plain-design bowls with rounded bases, have been uncovered at various sites in Vaipito Valley, where the pottery fragments are believed to have been discarded.
[2][3] In addition to pottery, Vaipito Valley has revealed structural elements like rock foundations and terraces, known locally as lau mafola, which are believed to be remnants of early house sites.
This water network supports the local ecosystem and plays a significant role in the valley’s drainage system.
A paved road off Route One near Spenser's Store allows access through the valley, leading up a ridge and across to Fagasā, which is a northern coastal village.
