It isn't San Ildefonso, but you're headed in the right direction.

Chaco Canyon >> San Ildefonso >> keep going

What is shown in the photo is public property.

OK, at least we have a direction to think about now...

I don't remember this view -- but there are pueblos that sorta of look like this one near Taos, NM

I haven't visited this monument before and I don't really recognize the photo -- but this might be it.

(And thanks for Howard for dropping by -- since he is our Albuquerque go-to Guy!)

That was my first thought but that scene doesn't look familar after our recent visit there, what about Acoma Pueblo [Sky city] ? No idea if it is "public property or not though !

Acoma Pueblo is private and is still inhabited, this site is no longer occupied.

Salinas Pueblo Missions is a good guess, but that's not where the photo was taken.

Goodness gracious, there's quite a number of pueblos in the greater New Mexico area -- how about another geo-directional clue?

A Civil War battle was fought not far from this site.

I had considered Jemez earlier on but couldn't find anything to connect it with but having done a little more digging along those lines I have come up with;

Pecos National Historical Park ?
