Vásquez de Coronado's Route

In the fall of 1540, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado's army traveled from ZuñI to his chosen winter headquarters in the Tiguex province on the Rio Grande. Here the advance guard of the army followed the river from the Isleta area to Alcanfor, a pueblo near Barnalillo, where it camped for winters.
