Where is Wupatki?

Wupatki is a well-known Indian ruin northeast of Flagstaff, Arizona.  To get there just take US 89 north out of Flagstaff and follow the signs to the Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments.  Most of the ruins are off-limits but some of the best ones are open to visitors.  As you can see from the map, the ruins are just a few miles from where Sitgreaves left the Little Colorado at Grand Falls to travel west toward the north side of the San Francisco Peaks.  The particular ruin in Kern's lithograph is right behind the Wupatki Visitor's Center and Park Headquarters.
