Goodman Point Pueblo is the largest
unit in Hovenweep National Monument. It contains the collapsed
remains of an extensive village, complete with public architecture such as
a great kiva, plazas, and at least one small tower. |

This area is very different from
other sites in Hovenweep National Monument. Instead of multi-storied
towers that protect canyon heads and have imposing views, the sites at
Goodman Point are made up of partially buried pueblos that vary in size
from small settlements to very large villages. The area is covered
by sagebrush and piñon and juniper woodlands. |
This map of Goodman Point was posted
near the entrance to the site. |
