Trechado. Said to be a corruption of span., trecheado 'stopping place.' arthur bibo, member of a prominent ranching family in valencia county, says the name is an error for techado, 'covered, roofed over,' the correct designation for techado mesa nearby. This was named for a ruin at its se base which has a walk-in well in the center, roofed by early indians before it was abandoned. The well was uncovered by one of the cowboys working for the nations ranch in the early 1900 or before. Mail to fence lake. Submitted by: Samuel W McWhorter
