The mission of The Painted Rocks Historical Site, Inc. is to preserve, raise awareness, and share thepictographs with current and future generations; as well as provide research and educational opportunities to students, scholars, institutions, and to those with historical connections to the land.
There are three general phases of rock art at Paint Rock. The oldest is Pecos River Style, which theoretically spans an unlikely 5,000 years.
Shows each painting’s approx. location between fence on west end of site and gravel turnaround on east end.
An 1885 U.S.G.S. map of the lower Concho River locates a road crossing the river just upstream from the archaeological site. The hard bottom crossing has probably been there for millennia.
