To reach the Village of Wagon Mound nestled under the Mound Mesa, one must traverse the grasslands of the Jicarilla Apache. Rising above the prairie, from any direction in any season, the volcanic mesas known as the Cornudos Hills are a magical sight. The village has a fire department, school, city hall, one church, two gas stations, a community garden, about 120 lived in homes, 300 residents, history, dilapidated adobe structures and an art center project.
