Tularosa, New Mexico

Three Rivers Petroglyphs Site - Tularosa, NM

Over 20,000 petroglyphs have been identified in this area.  These petroglyphs were made by a group of prehistoric Native Americans the archaeologists refer to as Jornada Mogollon 

(hor-NAN-da muggy-OWN) 

of which there are no known modern descendants.

 

This image is probably the best known and most photographed petroglyph at Three Rivers.  The body of this bighorn sheep is filled with a Mimbres-style geometric design and is pierced by three arrows.
