"Far Across the Rio Grande" in my Gene Kloss book (Vol 1, page 186). It is described as Comanche Canyon, looking south toward the Pedernal, with a mesa in the distant background.
What is interesting about the Pedernal (it is a narrow mesa in northern New Mexico and is not far from the Ghost Ranch), is that Georgia O'Keefe made many paintings of the Pedernal and her ashes were scattered on its top.
O'Keeffe, once said about the Pedernal, "It's my private mountain. It belongs to me. God told me if I painted it enough, I could have it".
