Statement of Significance (as of designation - July 19, 1964):
Situated on terraces of a fallen basalt cliff along the upper Little Colorado River, the site dates from late Pueblo III to early Pueblo IV (1250-1325 AD) times. Casa Malpais appears to incorporate features of both early and late Mogollon Culture settlement patterns.

Condition:
There are no threats to the landmark.

We work with the Center for Desert Archaeology, based out of Tucson, AZ.. In the past few years the site has been backfilled and stabilized. It is monitered on a daily basis by tour guides through out the year.
