MINERS in the CERRILLOS HILLS - 1880

Vallelcitos Camp











Vallecitos ("little valleys") was a common place name in the Cerrillos Hills and elsewhere in New Mexico. This Vallecitos is in the northern part of the Cerrillos Hills, part of Hungry Gulch. The camp is amazingly tidy. Was it cleaned up for this photograph, or is it because this camp is very new, not more than a month or two old?
