모뉴먼트밸리
모뉴먼트밸리는 아메리카 합중국 서남부의 유타주 남부로부터 애리조나주 북부에 걸쳐 퍼지는 지역 일대의 명칭이다. 메사라고 하는 테이블형의 대지나 한층 더 침식이 진행되었다. 뷰트라고 하는 바위 산이 점재해, 마치 기념비(모뉴먼트)가 줄지어 있는 경관을 나타내고 있는 것부터 이 이름이 지어진 것이다.

Monument Valley
Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 300m above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies. Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Famed director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns. Film critic Keith Phipps wrote that "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West".
