The sign proclaims this cemetery to be so, and apparently it is, a family cemetery. The sign reads: "Campo Santo de Nuestra Senora de Talpa del Rosario Hecho por Sr. y Sra. Pedro N Gallegos para ellos y su familia" which can be translated to "Holy Field (cemetery) of our Lady of Talpa del Rosario made by Mr. and Mrs. Pedro N Gallegos for them and their family". The cemetery is East of Villanueva adjacent to the N side of Dodge Drive, which parallels the Pecos River. The area of the cemetery comprises approximately fifty by fifty feet. There is room for a car or two off of Dodge Drive, and a gate is on the E side of the fenced cemetery. When we visited in June 2020, the cemetery appeared to be maintained. One mysterious headstone in the SE corner had only "2002" on it, and a small yellow sign hung on the exterior of the fence with "LA SAGRADA FAMALIA 2002" on it.
