About this map

Lowry Pueblo Ruins stand as a central landmark in this high plateau landscape, illustrating the deep archaeological history of the Four Corners region. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Cross Canyon and Ruin Canyon, which cut through the elevated mesa known as Squaw Point. This 1970s survey captures a moment of modern energy exploration overlaid upon an ancient landscape, marked by numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes that dot the canyon rims near small settlements like Heaton and Spargo.
