- Found it
First came here in October 2009 - http://tinyurl.com/ppbglep, activelightphotography.com.
Lost map and directions to the site, so was unable to find it again until your post with its Google Maps link.
Since so so few visit, it looks pretty much the same after six years, thankfully.
Note that BLM's marked trail begins at a drill pad about 1/2 mile south of the closer start you map here. The wood fence and turnstyle and the excavated kiva half are both visible in Google Earth.

The North Road points to Salmon Ruin, first constructed in 1088 and later abandoned in favor of Aztec Ruin when the San Juan River began eroding away adjacent land. Aztec West Ruin's Great Kiva was restored by archaeologist Earl Morris in the 1920s and 1930s.

This is is an outstanding area for photographers to explore - see www.activelightphotography.com for tips on how to photograph these hidden ruins.
It'll change your view of American history.
