A horizontally oriented sepia photogravure depicts a village atop a flat mesa. In the foreground, craggy rock formations with vertical fissures rise from a sandy slope. The middle ground features a large adobe building with a tower and smaller dwellings. A flat horizon and pale mountains sit under a hazy sky. Inscriptions include "Plate 566" at top left and "ACOMA FROM THE SOUTH" at bottom left.
