Cuchillo

Sierra County, NM

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

Small Cuchillo Negro Creek settlement west of Elephant Butte country that long served ranch and road traffic between the Black Range foothills and the Rio Grande valley. Adobe and ranch-road fabric mark a thin historic place—not a reservoir recreation pin and not the better-known Hillsboro–Kingston mining corridor farther west.
