+The '''Chuska Valley''' is a geographical region located in the northwestern portion of the [[United States|U.S.]] state of [[New Mexico]]. Sitting atop the [[Colorado Plateau]] in the [[Four Corners]] region of the desert [[Southwestern United States|Southwest]], it is near both [[Chacra Mesa]] and [[Chaco Canyon]], which are noted for their [[Chacoan civilization|Chacoan]] [[Anasazi]] ruins. The Chaco Slope is differentiated from the neighboring [[Gobernador Slope]], [[Chaco Core]], and [[Chaco Plateau]] by distinct surface water drainage patterns and geological formations. These regions were first labelled by archaeologist [[Gwinn Vivian]].<ref name="Fagan_2005_45-46">{{harvnb|Fagan|2005|pp=45–46}}.</ref> The valley is associated with the nearby [[Chuska Mountains]].
