Blackwater Draw
Blackwater Draw consists of several important archaeological sites that have yielded much information about the big game hunting way of life. Some animals that were hunted, like the mammoth, are long extinct. Eastern New Mexico University's Black Draw Museum contains artifacts of the Paleo-Indian cultures that existed here as early as 10,000 B.C.
