Historical Marker

You are on west edge of High Plains, here sloping eastward to Pecos Valley. Foothills of Capitán Mountains are to northwest and Sierra Blanca to west, an ancient 12,003-foot complex volcano. Canyon on Rio Hondo to southwest exposes Permian limestone aquifers that nourish Pecos Valley crops.
