Jorada del Muerto

NM Hwy 51 (Mile Marker 15)

The Jorada del Muerto was named by the Spanish because of the countless travelers who lost their lives along the 100 miles of desert between the Paraje de Fra Cristóbal to the north and the Paraje Robledo to the south.  This route was also utilized by the American Army, the confederates in 1862, and the railroad in 1881.
