General Description. County map of New Mexico showing counties. Numbers indicate the number of Pleistocene sites per county as of this date (related sites are treated as single faunas; e.g., La Union). Sites appear to be scattered roughly at random except counties containing Rio Grande valley fill and cave-rich Eddy County. The central-east and northeast counties appear to be somewhat under represented, however. In terms of number of taxa, Eddy, Hidalgo, and Bernalillo counties lead the pack, thanks to cave faunas.
