Canta Recio, New Mexico

Canta Recio (meaning sings loudly in Spanish), was a native New Mexican settlement, now a ghost town in Socorro County, New Mexico. It was located 40 miles south of Socorro, on the west bank of the Rio Grande, South of Milligan Gulch.[1]:61 [2]

History

Canta Recio was a small settlement established by 1875 as the first Apache War was ending. It was located along the road on the west side of the Rio Grande south of Fort Craig. By 1880 it was the first stop after San Marcial on the stage route to the mining towns of the Black Range. It remained in existence until 1920 when the land of the area was condemned for the Elephant Butte Reservoir and inundated. Nothing remains of this place.[1]:61

gollark: And?
gollark: Ever heard of side channel attacks?
gollark: But it's not completely disconnected - networking, keyboard/video/mouse, and in fact it probably still shares most of the CPU hardware.
