Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Historic gold-mining camp on the Turquoise Trail (NM 14) between Madrid and San Pedro/Cedar Crest, one of New Mexico’s earliest gold districts (placer boom in the 1820s; later lode mining). Today a quiet roadside historic community with the San Francisco Catholic Church and mining-era remnants—public NM 14 corridor, not a shaft tour.
