Northeast New Mexico is comprised of seven counties, Colfax, Guadalupe,
Harding, Mora, Quay, San Miguel and Union. These wide open spaces are home
to real working cowboys, who work the land and protect it for future
generations. Travelers can follow the Santa Fe Trail and old Route 66. They
can explore ghost towns and visit sites where the movies were made - from
Tom Mix films to Grapes of Wrath to Lonesome Dove. Print maps and driving
instructions for five scenic byways, cowboy sites, civil war sites, and
ghost towns. Take a driving tour through Northeast New Mexico, land of the
working cowboy.
