That is correct. I walked all around the Samgeo-ri Dolmen Cluster on the hillside back in 2008. So, my picture is quite old. Its a 3.5 kilometer walk from the largest dolmen.

I revisited Naples today and have added some POIs to the map.
Overall, I don't think many individual buildings stand out, but I wanted to point out some areas of interest.
Also, I managed to add a picture of the plaque to the location we already had correctly mapped (I had to retrace my steps 1.5km for that!)

Thanks! They have been added. It is interesting to see how huge the core zone is, compared to the areas where tourists (can) go.

For travelers its primarily: South Rim (Desert View Drive POI's), North Rim (Visitor Center & Road to Camp Royal), West Rim 'Grand Canyon West' (view of inscribed area) while on Hualapai Tribal Land. Lastly, I have not visited properly (though I hope to), but the Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center at Marble Canyon has accessible points within the inscribed area, including Lees Ferry.

For the most intrepid travelers there are some options: Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument dirt roads accessing remote sections of the Grand Canyon. Additionally, there is the Havasupai Trailhead (10 miles to Havasupai Camground) and another 6 miles the following day to the Havasu Creek / Colorado River Confluence. Most people do not hike far enough to reach the National Park boundary as their destination is Havasu Falls.
