Rock Art in Dona Ana County, New Mexico.
A group of twelve separate focal points of petroglyphs in the Summerford Mountain area, this was home to the Jornada Mogollon prehistoric culture and the historic Apache people.

These rock art sites are located within the Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center of the University of New Mexico. The sites are not generally accessible to the public. However, the university sponsors studies at the sites and very occasionally tours are available.

The location given is for Summerford Mountain itself, and not any one rock art site.

See more at the New Mexico Stat University website for the Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center.

Note: See the comment on this site and its designation under the National Register of Historic Places listing.

N.M. petroglyph sites named to National Register of Historic Places by bat400 on Wednesday, 07 March 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
A collection of 12 petroglyph sites in the Dona Ana Mountains of southern New Mexico has been named to the National Register of Historic Places, giving the sites the highest level of national significance.

"The archaeological sites in the (newly listed district) stand out from other sites in the Southwestern United States because of the association of rock imagery with archaeological deposits and artifacts," said Katherine Slick, director of the Historic Preservation Division. Unlike most of New Mexico's other districts, the Summerford sites are in close proximity to archaeological deposits that include other artifacts that researchers can use to learn more about the people who first inhabited the Southwest.

"These figures are not simply an early form of graffiti," Glenna Dean, a state archaeologist, said. "They have meaning, but we don't understand the relationship of the images to daily life of identifiable groups in the past."

    Although the Summerford site is the only one appearing on the map in the locale, there are Archaic sites all over the region since this was a major pre-Columbian trade route along the Rio Grande. Look to the petroglyphs at Three Rivers, recent work at Bob John Pueblo in Santa Teresa, and the work around El Paso, Texas as well as other sites in the region.
