High Lonesome, Chaves County, New Mexico

There are many places named High Lonesome in New Mexico, though many are windmill sites. The High Lonesome in Chaves County is near the Pecos River. It was, once, a trading point.

Only a few foundations of the buildings are left now (1998) at this High Lonesome site. It's on Route 70, a few miles east of Acme and about 20 miles from Roswell.

Only a bevy of communications antennas occupy this High Plains location.

But no one trades here anymore.
