Historic San Vicente de Paul Iglesia Catolica, Punta de Agua, Torrance County, New Mexico USA
Out with the Photo Marauders, Enchanted Lens Camera Club… the south east side of the Manzano Mountains in Torrance County…
Established in 1878, this adobe and stone structure is still in use today, maintained by the local community and is part of the Church of St. Alice parish in Mountainair. The cemetery is of course as old as the church. Punta de Agua was officially settled after 1850 and took its name, "point of water," from a nearby spring and acequia that is across the State Route 55 and flows down from the old Quarai Pueblo ruins.
