Jack M. Campbell Highway

Taos to Tierra Amarilla

This road passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in the American Southwest. It is a key section of the east - west highway which brings visitors to this region from throughout the United States. Since this route became a reality through the perseverance of Governor Jack M. Campbell (1963-1966), the members of the New Mexico State Highway Commission voted unanimously on September 23, 1965, to name this portion of U.S. 64 in his honor.

Marker is on U.S. 64, on the right when traveling east.
