Located in the Tularosa Basin at the turn-off for Three Rivers Petroglyphs, this ranching village settled in the early 1870's took its name for a nearby convergence of three creeks. The cattle empires of Albert Bacon Fall, John Chisum, and Susan McSween , kept the small town going, and the arrival of Charles Eddy's El Paso & Northeastern Railroad in 1899 spurred growth. But most residents had to move when Fall took majority control of local water rights. Fall's million-acre empire crumbled after his conviction in the "Teapot Dome" scandal.
