The whole Monument Valley is an icon because of motion pictures and its association with the West. It is claimed mostly by Arizona but the monuments are mostly in Utah. It is pretty well populated by people and not nearly as wild and wooly as is depicted. You have to maneuver to take photos unless you want houses and other buildings in the photos.
I felt like that the first time I went to San Antonio and found the Alamo is in the town. It was a disappointment, I had the impression it would be out in the middle of nowhere.
