The Puerco Pueblo, by the Rio Puerco, was settled nearly a thousand years ago by the ancestral Puebloan people. The dwellings were built of shaped sandstone blocks and were inhabited between 1250AD and 1380AD. During its peak the pueblo had a total population of around 200 people living in over 100 rooms. The summer rains nourished the nearby fields of corn, bean and squash that the villagers planted each summer. In an area so dry it would seem impossible to live, they built pueblos, harvested rainwater, grew crops and raised families. This Kiva is a chamber, built partly underground, and was traditionally used by male members of the Pueblo people for their religious ceremonies. Puerco Pueblo is in Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook, Arizona, USA.

Ruins at Hovenweep National Monument
As settlers populated the area, the Two Guns location was recognized as a good location to cross the steep and difficult Canyon Diablo. Prior to the construction of a bridge, travelers in wagons and later by vehicle would cross the canyon by zig-zagging the embankments and then driving across the riverbed which was usually dry. In 1914 plans were made to construct an automobile bridge across the canyon at Two Guns. Construction soon began and the Canyon Diablo Bridge opened on March 17, 1915. It became part of the National Old Trails Road which, in Arizona, was known as the Santa Fe Highway. In 1926 the highway became part of U.S. Route 66. The bridge was used until 1938 when it was replaced by a new bridge north of Two Guns along the route used by the present-day Interstate 40. On September 30, 1988 the Canyon Diablo Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Two Guns and Canyon Diablo are located near Winslow, Arizona, USA.
