Monument

Monument Valley in full daylight — the buttes that taught the world what the American West looks like, standing in the Navajo Tribal Park where the Colorado Plateau gives up its last arguments. John Ford shot seven films here; every western since has been quoting them. Photographed by Carol M. Highsmith, whose decades-long project to document America lives in the Library of Congress.
