Gran Quivira Ruins

Salinas National Monument
1 Mile South

The Tompiro Indian "Pueblo de las Humanas" (ca. 1300-1670's) had 1,500 to 2,000 inhabitants and was a trading center with Plains Indians. The village evolved for centuries on the fringe of the Mongollon and Anasazi cultures. There are two large Spanish Franciscan missions churches, San Isidro built in 1629, and San Buenaventura constructed in 1659.
