The Llano Estacado


Location: NM Rt 84 between Fort Sumner and Santa Rosa, NM
Year: 1991
Merckslides catalogue number: 06-17002
Comments: This is a beautiful and quiet stretch of road, paralleling the Pecos River on the East. When driving from Austin to Albuquerque, it was always in this region that one started to encounter topography and natural vegetation after hours of the pancake flat agricultural monoculture of the Texas High Plains.
