Queen Cemetery
Queen, Eddy County, New Mexico, USA
National Forrest. This is a remote, mountainous area that is in southern
Eddy County, New Mexico. To get to this cemetery, begin on Highway 285 at
the Carlsbad, NM north City Limits and go 12.1 miles to the Queen Highway
intersection (highway 137) and turn Left (south). Continue on for 35.7 miles
up into the mountains and turn right on Christian Camp Road (County
Road 411). The cemetery is just down this dirt road to the left.
The road to and through this area was once a stage coach route to
El Paso, TX. There use to be a stage stop in this area known as the Queen
Stage Stop. The stage would stop here to rest the horses from the climb up
the mountain and either rest the horses or change teams for the steep climb
down into Dog Canyon and through the El Paso Gap. All that remains of this
stage stop is a tall rock chimney. The people that ran this stopping off
point were M.J. and E.G. Queen. They are buried in the Queen Cemetery.
As with any old cemetery, there are several unmarked graves here.
