The settlement of Lincoln and the community at Glencoe anchor this view of the high desert and mountain canyons within the Lincoln National Forest. Situated between the Sacramento Mountains and the heights of Sierra Blanca, the landscape is defined by the vital drainages of Rio Bonito to the north and Rio Ruidoso to the south. Historically significant sites for researchers include the Lincoln Cem, Glencoe Cem, and the George Coe Cem, which speak to the region's ranching and frontier heritage.
