Title transcribed from item. Signed on mount: "© Frederick Monsen." Monsen's typed label on back says: "Arizona. The Canyon de Chelly and Del Muerto Region is the most interesting prehistoric locality in the Southwest. It is located in the great Navajo reservation in North Eastern Arizona and close to the New Mexico line. The canyons are fissures in a great blanket deposit of brilliant red sandstone and are noted for their precipitous walls, in many instances over a thousand feet high. Note ruin on top of great talus rock and reached by a notched tree trunk ladder."
