New Highway Signs
In May 2024, the Las Trampas Land Grant Association worked with New Mexico Department of Transportation to install new signs at on Highway 76 on the Land Grant boundary south of Ojo Sarco and in Chamisal on the border with the Picuris Reservation. A third sign has been ordered to place on Highway 73 in Rodarte at the entrance to Llano de San Juan. We hope these signs help increase awareness and visibility of the Las Trampas Land Grant.
