Long Description:
"There are over 21,000 petroglyphs at the Three Rivers
Petroglyph Site at Three Rivers, New Mexico, located midway between
Tularosa and Carrizozo in Otero County on highway 54. Many of the
petroglyphs can be easily viewed from a trail open to the public
which winds through the rocks for about one mile. The petroglyphs
are thought to be the product of the Jornada Mogollon people
between about 1000 and 1400 AD. The site is protected and
maintained by the Bureau of Land Management.
The petroglyphs at Three Rivers were recorded during a 6 year
project by the Archaeological Society of New Mexico's Rock Art
Recording Field Schools. Photographs and records are on file at the
Bureau of Land Management's District Office in Las Cruces."
