Just by looking at the above satellite image, can you tell what part of the world it shows? The one feature that might help you place it is the river running right up the middle.

In the letter she lists the towns they went through on their way. Some of the places don't exist anymore, some of them are just cemeteries, but most of them are still there, though not very big.

Update April 2021 replaced missing map. Google Maps has changed, this one has names showing. 
All the towns in this list are in New Mexico except for the first two. Google could not find the ones marked with asterisks.
