Pictographs. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
We hadn't researched ahead of time (I'm sure this is noted as closed if we had looked at the right map) so with just the map plotted an obvious route south to the border but were stopped by a restricted area. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.

Holes. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
Josepha Jacoba Martin, Abril 16, 1874, in person this was no clearer in the picture but I am fairly certain that this inscription is described in Last Water on the Devils Highway (Broyles...) and the text noted in the early 20th century. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
High Tanks. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
There are a notable number of names and initials inscribed in the vicinity of the High Tanks - but apparently almost none of them have been connected to other historic documents - I wouldn't know the subtle differences between 'fake' and 'real' but my best guess is the date on this insciption is 1834 and the style seemed to me different than the other inscriptions I saw. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
Hole. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
1961 Benchmark. Charles Miles. 10/19/2019.
