Above: Cowgirl Red in Madrid. On a warm day in 1988, Riana Peaker-Newman, then 16, and her father, Waylan Peaker, drove the 20 miles south from Santa Fe to Madrid, a once booming coal town nestled in the foothills of the Ortiz Mountains.

When the pair came upon Madrid, they found a beautiful, sleepy town full of abandoned miners’ cabins.
