Scenic Historic Marker - Seven Rivers Cemetery

Seven Rivers was located south of Artesia near the confluence of seven branches of a stream that flowed into the Pecos River. settled in the mid-1860's, the town flourished as a trading post and refuge for participants in the Lincoln County War. The community declined until only the cemetery was left. When Brantley Dam was constructed in 1988 the cemetery itself was relocated behing Twin Oaks Memorial Park north of Artesia.
