Archeological Survey of 12.5 Miles of the Pecos River Road, Dalton Canyon to Cowles, San Miguel County, New Mexico

摘要

Pedestrian survey located no prehistoric sites, but 15 historic sites representing Hispanic farming and stock-raising families and the Pecos Mine era. The non-mine-related sites are initially important in the history of Colonial and Territorial New Mexico, but continue on into the mining era. The sites associated with the Pecos Mine are significant in the history of mining in New Mexico and the western U.S., since commercial mining of the complex Pecos ores was delayed until sophisticated extraction methods had been developed.
