Description
This photograph of petroglyphs was made in the ghost town of Hagan near Albuquerque New Mexico. A petroglyph is an image created on a rock's surface by carving and is a form of rock art. Petroglyphs are often associated with prehistoric people.
Established in 1902, Hagan was yet another New Mexican town brought to life by coal, taking its name from mining investor William Hagan. A railroad had been running less than six years when the coal seam started to thin out around 1930. The town died quickly. A few folks stuck around until the very early 1940's, but the post office was already gone by 1931. Not much remains of Hagan today. There are a couple crumbling buildings and a few foundations. But the area is scenic and also remote.
