dc.descriptionThe high desert town (roughly 5,400 feet above sea level) of Carrizozo is located in south-central New Mexico along the Sacramento Mountains. The town’s name was derived from the Spanish word “carrizo” and refers to the abundant reed-like grass in the region. Located in an area unsuitable for dry farming, Carrizozo developed and flourished as a trading center for miners and ranchers in Lincoln County. The town was situated on the El Paso Northeastern rail line and, by the 1940s, on a major highway junction. The first newspapers in Carrizozo were founded after they fled less prosperous towns nearby. In 1906, the Outlook moved from White Oaks, a mining town which had failed to live up to its original promise, to Carrizozo, which became the seat of Lincoln County in 1909. A Republican newspaper, the Outlook was published weekly from December 27, 1906, through December 1909. --Provided by the University of New Mexico, through the Library of Congress.
