Pictographs occur at several localities along the Mimbres. As these have a general likeness to each other and differ from those of other regions, they are supposed to be characteristic of the prehistoric people. They are generally pecked on the sides of boulders or on the face of the cliffs in the neighborhood of prehistoric sites of dwellings. Although there is only a remote likeness between these pictographs and figures on pottery, several animal forms are common to the two.
The most important group of pictographs seen by the author are situated about nine miles from Deming in the western foot-hills of Cook's Peak.21 Some of the pictographs recall decorations on bowls from Pajarito Park.
