Pecos River hydrology and the legacy of mid-century highway travel define this portrait of eastern New Mexico. The town of Santa Rosa serves as a central hub where the Historic Route 66 corridor intersects with modern infrastructure. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the area's unique sinkholes and lakes, including the famed Blue Hole, Hidden Lake, and Perch Lake. These natural features, alongside Agua Negra Springs to the south, illustrate the subterranean water systems that have sustained ranching and settlement in this arid landscape for generations.
