The Guadalupe Ruins are located about 50 miles southeast of Cuba, New Mexico. Sitting atop a high ridge the ruins with their two covered kivas are believed to have been an outlier of the Chacoan Culture who built their central site further to the west in Chaco Canyon and branched out from there building as many as 75 outlying communities, connected by roads, in an area spread over 30,000 square miles.
