Poverty Hollow is where the Cerrillos reservoir
(silted-up) is presently situated, a short distance north of what is now called
Poverty Flats.
Note the photographer's wagon alongside the tent. The large number of adobe houses
is indicative of pre-1880 occupation of the site as most miners still lived in tents.
This website is maintained by the Cerrillos
Hills Park Coalition
