Historical Marker

Named "Acomilla", or Acomita (little Acoma) by the Spanish, these buttes form the walls of a narrow passage for the Rio Grande, along which hostile Apache frequently waited in Ambush. Travelers had to organize into well-armed caravans to assure their safety along this section of the Camino Real.
