Three Rivers Petroglyph Site | Archaeologists credit the Mogollon with leaving thousands of images: humans, birds, fish, insects, plants, geometric and abstract designs. The plethora of petroglyphs adorn the basalt boulders lining a low ridge at the north end of the Tularosa Basin, dispersed across 50+ acres.

Alamogordo was founded in 1898 by William Hawkins and two brothers from New York, Charles and John Eddy. Charles was one of the main investors in the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad, a spur of the transcontinental railway. The spur linked the east-west route to El Paso. The site was chosen based on the abundance of lumber in the Sacramento Mountains, which was a crucial commodity for railroad ties.
