As the ranger said, and the census.gov coords confirmed, the actual site is a short distance away (1.75 mi, 39° true at N34° 37.381 W106° 20.526), in an open field, and on private property. The state opted to put a maker here, in their park.
Manzano Mountains State Park is 16 miles northwest of Mountainair and is reached via a well-graded gravel road off NM–55 near Manzano. The park is closed from November through early April, and the marker is likely inaccessible.
