Victorio Peak
Victorio Peak is a high rocky outcropping in the Hembrillo Basin in southern New Mexico. This was one of Chief Victorio's hideouts, and was the site of a battle in 1880 between Victorio's Apaches and the U.S. Army Ninth Cavalry "Buffalo Soldiers". Additionally, gold prospector Milton "Doc" Noss claimed to have found hidden treasure inside the Mountains in the late 1930s.〔(Abcarian, Robin. "Treasure or Treachery?" Los Angeles Times, 16 June 1991 )〕
==Geologic History==
The Tularosa Basin was developed in the north-south trending San Andres Mountains, and comprises north-south striking Late Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of Permian and Carboniferous age, that lie unconformably upon Precambrian metamorphics.〔Kottlowski, F.E., Flower, R.H., Thompson, M.L. & Foster, R.W. 1956. Stratigraphic Studies of the San Andres Mountains, Hew Mexico. New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, Memoir 1, 132pp.〕 The regional dip of the Paleozoic rocks is gentle, around 10° to the west. The Permian rocks of the Abo and Yeso formations comprise mudrocks and sandstones which are freely weathering to create a series of steps capped by sandstones with intervening argillaceous rocks forming less steep slopes. These slopes and cap rocks were to be used to advantage by the Apaches in 1880.〔Lambach. K. 2001. Hembrillo. An Apache battlefield of the Victorio War. White Sands Missile Range archaeological Research Report No 00-06〕 The entrance to the Hembrillo Basin, Hembrillo Canyon, opens eastwards into the Tularosa Basin and the White Sands National Monument. The Canyon is partially barred by a roughly north-south trending diabase dike. Westwards is the valley of the Jornada del Muerto, the Sierra Caballo mountains and the Rio Grande.〔(Doyle, Peter. (2006). Military Geology and the Apache Wars, South West United States. Department of Earth Sciences, University College London. )〕
