Gobernador Slope

The Gobernador Slope is a geographical region located in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of New Mexico.

It is near both Chacra Mesa and Chaco Canyon, which are noted for their Chacoan Anasazi ruins.

Its topography is dominated by rugged canyons that become deeper and narrower in the east.

The Hogback and San Pedro Mountains border the slope in the east.

Precipitation in the generally arid region rises with elevation.
