This pictograph panel, as it appears in this image, was found in Courthouse Wash outside of Moab, Utah. In the 1980s vandals destroyed the panel, using an abrasive scrubbing compound to remove much of it from the wall. I visited this site many times prior to the destruction. This, however, is the only photograph I ever took there.
