The village of Pisinemo is located at 32°2′28"N 112°18′52"W (32.041078, -112.314459).

The name Pisinemo is actually a failed attempt by the Motor Vehicle Division to put the traditional name of Pisin Mo'o onto road side signs along Highway 86 which runs through the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation. Pisin Mo'o is Tohono O'odham for "Buffalo Head". (The O'odham pronunciation of "Pisin Mo'o" is approximately pisinə moʔo, which is relatively close to the Anglicized spelling.)
