This is a series of geocaches to commemorate our Great State of New Mexico. All of the geocaches are named for settlements that once thrived in Dona Ana county but some of them are now nothing more than footnotes in our history. They have all played an important role in the settling and growth of our county and some of them are still active communities, rich with culture, architecture, and historic buildings.
Spanish for "lead". 46 miles NE of Las Cruces. A big mill and smelter were built here and abandoned immediately when the lead mine played out. Post Office 1902, mail to Las Cruces.
