Pope's Folly Marked As Local History Echoes
Travelers heading north on US 285 pass a State Highway marker near Red Bluff Lake above Orla, erected in 1936 to recall Capt. John Pope and his 1855 artesian well project. His three year effort spent 100000 dollars to drill dry holes, but artesian wells later bloom around Artesia and the Pecos River area. Relics and stones remain at Pope's Crossing and in local museums, linking the episode to early railroad and exploration history.
