RUINS ON THE MIMBRES RIVER FROM OLDTOWN TO BROCKMAN’S MILLS

On low terraces elevated somewhat above the banks of the river,

between Oldtown and Brockman’s Mills, there are several village sites,

especially on the western side.[19] The most important of these is

situated about four miles north of Oldtown. The ruin at the Allison

Ranch, situated at the Point of Rocks where the cliffs come down to the

river banks, is large and there are many pictographs nearby. The ruins

at Brockman’s Mills on the opposite or eastern side of the river lie

near the ranch-house. Many rooms, some of which seem to have walls well

plastered, can be seen just behind the corral. North of the ruin is a

hill with low lines of walls like trincheras. On some of the stones

composing these walls and on neighboring scattered boulders, there are

well-made pictographs.[20]
