The site lies about eight miles northwest of Mountainair, New Mexico, and about one mile and a half southwest of the Hispanic village of Punta de Agua. The major objectives of the 1939-1940 Project were to finish uncovering the convento and to stabilize the walls of this structure and the main church, to outline the outside walls of the Pueblo in the sections nearest the main church and to stabilize these walls, to landscape the area by planting trees and building pathways and to construct a visitors center and parking area on the west side of the monument property.
